What I got for Mother’s Day!

May 14, 2007

Aside from good company and good exercise (that walk turned out to be almost 4 miles around a lake in 90 degree weather!), my daughter got me Tammy Powley’s Mixed Media and Memory Jewelry. She’s already told me which projects she’d like to have made for her. (I hinted that she could come up to our place and we could make them together!)

The book is full of interesting ideas and projects that use components outside the normal beading box. I’ll write a more in-depth review for Beading Help Web’s media page, but glancing through, it’s got some great ideas! From soda can earrings to recycling Grandma’s old jewelry, I think jewelry makers who want to try something different will enjoy this book.
