Jewelry & Accessories: Beautiful Designs to Make and Wear

Rating:
Summary: awesome/elegant ideas
Review: Although I'm not a jewelry maker, I'm delving into this craft and found this book to provide marvelous inspiration. The examples are elegant and appeal to my esthetic sense, which gives me the inspiration to try them myself. Each technique is well illustrated with step by step photos, a complete list of materials/equipment and explicit instructions. The section of 'creating jewelry and accessories' includes handpainted wood, paper mache work, embossed paper, silk painting, felt beads, handhooking, machine embroidery, polymer clay work, leather work, bead stringing, cast resin, repousee pewter work, paper/copper work (which I MUST do!!!), silver work, glass/solder work....this book touches on so many new things for me that I'll be experimenting for months now ! I'm happy with this purchase.
