Future Book Reviews in the Works

Friday October 17, 2008
Ah, it's Friday! Where did the week go? While I do work on this site and blog during the week, the weekends tend to be my primary writing and jewelry making time, and this coming weekend I hope to knock out a few book reviews I've been working on. For example, Fabulous Fabric Beads: Create Custom Beads and Art Jewelry by Kristal Wick is first on my list.

Without going into too much detail - which you'll find more of in the review when I finish with it - I am pretty impressed with this book and honestly thought I wouldn't be. I mean, so you roll up some fabric into beads, no big deal, right? Well, Kristal Wick goes way beyond that!

Some other books I've been reading through includes Jewelry Techniques: The Essential Guide to Choosing and Using Materials, Stones, and Settings by Anastasia Young; Wire Style: 50 Unique Designs by Denis Peck; and Bead Journey: Africa, Asia and the Pacific Rim, the Americas, Europe published by BeadStyle. I plan to knuckle down and stop reading them and start writing about them this weekend!

What a great idea! I had never thought about using fabric as beads. I’m looking forward to your review.
