• Enough with the same-old same-old! New ideas from a domestic diva
• Earrings, necklaces, rings, hair ornaments, more
• Great ideas for recycling old jewelry into kicky new pieces
Fun book with lots of great ideas. Most of them are a little trendy for me, but they are easily adaptable. There are a few I'm going to use (I love the branch necklace).
The book includes step-by-step directions with excellent diagrams to make the projects possible for even someone with little experience. The illustrations are nice, and each project comes with an interesting recipe. Worth picking up if you are interested in making jewelry.
The projects are unique and modern. The instructions in the beginning are a nice overview for people who are newer to jewelry making. This is probably not a craft book I'd buy for myself, but I am glad I checked it out from the library, as I found it to have some inspirational pieces. I would have rated it higher, but a lot of the pictures of the finished pieces were quite blurry.
