Clear, easy, projects with in the scope of the weekend crafter

The book is a great overview of making jewelry. Even from found objects, or really off the wall stuff like feathers, plastic laminate sample tags. You don't need to buy a lot of tools you may never use again. It has a lot of large well drawn line drawings that show clearly anything you need to do. It is divided into the different projects. And there are enough color pictures, for clear ideas of what it should look like. it is one of the few that covers using colored threads to make jewelry. Also it is the only one that shows vacuum-forming acetate sheet with a hand pump and home made box. Great stuff.
