Make a
Statement is a wonderful book for the new person looking to make jewelry.
The first 40 pages explain materials, tools, and techniques. There are 100 pages of stylish project details
with plenty of photographs. The cover
project necklace enticed me to order the book, but there are several others
that I will be making for myself because they are in fashion.
The projects are necklaces, bracelets, and
earrings. However, there is a sampling
of a ring, brooch, hair comb, and a shoe ornament. The authors use fabric, chain, beads, rope,
embroidery floss, stones, vintage components, leather, polymer clay, and sewing
trims. There is an excellent listing of
resources, but it would be better if the specific resource for materials of
each project were identified. Finding
the materials is often the stumbling block for beginners. Overall, this is an excellent first book with
trendy new projects!
