Spotlight on ... Book

Our featured book this month is
Hip Handmade Memory Jewelry
by Cathy Jakicic

Hip Handmade Memory Jewelry: by Cathy Jakicic is right up my alley. I love memorabilia. I keep ticket stubs, pictures, tokens, etc. I just love to remember events in my life through tangible elements. So, I am thrilled by the idea of turning those parts and pieces into jewelry. This book is colorful and inspiring.

From the back, "In Hip Handmade Jewelry, author Cathy Jakicic pulls together some of her favorite things-beading, scrapbooking, and a life filled with adventures and mementos-and shows you how to transform them into necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and other accessories."

There are 4 parts in the book, with 6-7 projects in each section::

  • Projects: milestones
  • Projects: hobbies
  • Projects: vacations
  • Projects: remembrances

This book also "Includes four super-quick projects that are great to do with kids-or whenever crafting time is short!"

You can buy this book from here.

Cathy Jakicic is the Editor for Bead Style Magazine.
