Our featured book this month is Create Jewelry: Pearls by Marlene Blessing & Jamie Hogsett
Create Jewelry: Pearls by Marlene Blessing & Jamie Hogsett has just under 120 pages, with unique designs, history, and interesting anecdotes. "Pearls have captured our imagination for centuries." Earlier this year, I noted in my blog that this seems to be the most popular accessory for women in politics.
From the back cover: "Their beauty, rarity, and seemingly magical origins have made them the prized possessions of royalty and the wealthy. In Create Jewelry: Pearls, the editors of Beadwork magazine combine stories of this irresistible, sensuous gem with gorgeous designs to inspire and delight the modern jewelry maker."
Inside you'll find:
20 stylish designs for stringing and beadweaving
Tips on selecting and caring for pearls
Sidebars on the history, science, and culture of pearls
Quotes, anecdotes, and images of pearls through the years
