The Jewelry Recipe Book takes materials available at
large craft stores (as well as specialty shops and artisan
shops on Etsy)—beads, shrink plastic, leather, lace, pearls,
sequins, polymer clay, yarn, and pinecones, to name a
few—and transforms them into one-of-a-kind pieces of
jewelry. Each of the 35 mini chapters organized by material
consists of three projects and three skill levels, adding up
to more than 100 stunning pieces that could easily be found
for sale at Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie. Every piece
is beautifully photographed, as are the majority of how-to
steps, and the information is presented in an easy-to-follow
way, like a recipe. The book also includes an overview of
simple jewelry-making techniques and tips, with best
practices for how to work with various materials; how to
wear jewelry; and how to work with design elements that
include color, scale, and shape.
