Crafty Book Review: The Jewelry Architect
Crafty Book Review:
The Jewelry Architect by Kate McKinnon

This book has both
diagrams and real pictures to show the steps to make the creative items. I would have liked a little more step-by-step
pictures because trying to follow the directions for some of the bracelets
without all the pictures was rather confusing, but this book makes up for it by
including an instructional DVD. Thumbs
up for this!
The artist and
author included a picture gallery of some of her own collection of
jewelry. These are really interesting
and definitely different. She also
included a basic skills section in the back of the book. This section covers beadwork, wirework, metal
clay and metal smithing, riveting, drawing a bead and fusing fine silver. Again, I felt that some parts left some
essential instructions out, the metal clay area in particular and explanations
on how to place the removable ball-end clasp (pg. 12-13). But overall, I would love to buy this book
and attempt any of the beadwork cuff bracelets, since I love those!
