Books on Celtic crafts, old and new.

At long last! A selection of craft books with a Pagan twist! Below you'll find stencils for your bedroom border or around your alter top, cross stitch and needle point patterns to embellish your robe trims or alter cloths (or heck, even your living room curtains), Celtic wrapping paper and basket weaving, and recipes for scented candles and soaps, among other things. I'm still searching for pagan related craft books other than Celtic, but apparently no one has thought to write a book on Grecian handywork. Perhaps I should compile one of my own. What do you think?
Anyway, please peruse our selection of craft books, and as always, check in frequently for more additions, and if you don't see it here, let me know. I'll see what I can do. And if you do know where there might be some good books on other pagan religions, please let me know.
Thanks!

I love cross stitch. It's so relaxing. Now if only I had the time to do some... This is a great book of patterns. I'm thinking a robe, with a hem all in silver and gold stitch, with a nice knotwork design at the bottom... what are those griffon-looking things? Dogs, they say? Dogs were a bit more ferocious looking in Britiania, weren't they? Not like my sweetie Cerebrus. Of course, with two heads, he eats quite a bit...
