"Beautiful Book, Great Projects! – There's the kind of jewelry where someone says, "Hey, cute earrings." Then, there's the kind of jewelry where someone grabs your arm and says, "Where did you get this bracelet!?" The jewelry projects featured in "Links" definitely fall into the latter category. This book features over 50 different and exquisite pieces.
The author, Jean Yates, chose stunning and unique beads for many of her projects, such as lampwork beads by Kim Miles, and polymer clay ones by Emma Ralph, to name a few. One of my favorite designs is actually the one on the cover: 'The Red Planet Necklace' featuring Ralph's chunky, sparkling polymer beads, with black rubber tubing and silver chain maille dangles strung on memory wire. It's truly fabulous. However, a beader doesn't have to drop a ton of money using top quality artist's beads, like the ones I just mentioned, to achieve similar effects. Each project is flexible that way.
For each design, the author discusses how she got her inspiration and encourages the reader to explore her own thoughts and imagination. "Links" also offers creative prompts to kick-start your own creative process."
