Our featured book this month is Custom Cool Jewelry by Melinda Barta
Custom Cool Jewelry by Melinda Barta helps you to create 200+ personalized pendants, charms & clasps. Part of my Christmas present from the lovely Miss Jamie Hogsett was a copy of this wonderful new book. Custom Cool Jewelry was published in 2008 and I first saw it at the Philly Beadfest, along with author Melinda Barta. I was very excited when I received my very own copy and have enjoyed thumbing through the pages and getting inspired at my bead table. I enjoy the intricate details in her work.
From the back cover: "Create unique, handcrafted, boutique-style jewelry with a personalized twist with Custom Cool Jewelry. All you need are a few easy-to-find craft materials and voila! You'll have made to order, affordable, eye-catching alternatives to store-bought jewelry."
