Conversation Pieces

Just what you need for your coffee table… a book of vaguely depressing pipe cleaner chick dioramas. Ok, so that doesn’t sound fun but just take a look at the extracts below from Sloane Tanen’s genius books Bitter With Baggage Seeks Same and Going For Bronze and you might just change your mind.

to a pile of chenille, two beads and some pipe cleaner.” Brilliant.
