Aranzi Aronzo claims to be a Mexican-Japanese man and Norwegian Vietnamese-Indian man working at securities firms and playing the tambourine full time. All we really know about them however, is that they are actually two sisters who create mischief and fun through easy and fun crafts.
"Whether you've dedicated an entire room in your house to
"crafting" or break out in hives at the mere mention of gimp, it's
hard to deny the weirdly winsome appeal of Aranzi Aronzo's DIY
books. The latest-Cute Dolls and Fun Dolls-offer over 120 pages of
patterns and step-by-step instructions for making three-dimensional
versions of your favorite Aranzi friends. Both books earn high
marks for presentation. The instructions are complemented by clear
illustrations demonstrating how to assemble the dolls, while the
paperback binding and 8"x 10"size make it easy for would-be
seamstresses to photocopy patterns . . . . But it's this
mischievous, poking-fun-at-the-grownups tone that makes Aranzi
Aronzo books such a welcome addition to the hobby aisle at your
local Borders, and a perfect gift for the crafty friend who's grown
weary of making the holiday centerpieces and Halloween costumes in
Martha Stewart Living and Better Homes and Gardens. -Katherine
Dacey-Tsuei, popcultureshock.com "I therefore give The Cute Book
my highest recommendation: It's a craft book that really works.
Unlike, say, Martha Stewart, the Aranzi Aronzo people have come up
with patterns that look good even when ordinary people make them."
- Manga Blog "Most of the patterns fall in the "Oh, how cute"
category, but there are several with guy appeal.
Get this book! Kids, teens, and adults will all want to borrow
it."- The yayayas
"It seems like a bit of a bold move to call something 'The Cute
Book' because you better be sure you can deliver. Luckily Aranzi
Aronzo is in the business of delivering on cute." - http:
