Bead In a Bead
- Jewelry In a Flash
I am currently working on jewelry “make and take” parties. Part of that involves collecting designs that hostesses can select from to choose their own party project. It’s a bit tough at time because there is a large range of psosible design to have avaialble. I can work with ages 8 and up, so we need to offer designs for all ages and for many skills levels.
THAT is why I am working on a collection of fairly simple, straight-forward projects (well, that’s one more reason to add to my reference jewelry library anyway—I admit it, I LOVE to collect ‘how to” and information books!). I don’t want any hostess ot have to “settle” and there are so many different styles that it takes an assortment. Plus, if I have designs and component lists, I hope to pre-price them and put them in price ranges hostesses can choose from.
All of this is a long explanation about this latest book review I loved the range of projects and styles in Jewelry In a Flash. It started with a simply crystal bicone project that resembles “floating” beads but is actually much easier to make. Next was a great contrast with large gemstone and wooden beads–a bold design. Another used leather cording tied between each bead.
