The opening technical section sets the scene very well and would be especially helpful if you have not done much bead weaving before. It only takes up a few pages but each of them is packed with useful information so it is well worth taking the time to study them before moving on to the project chapters. Each of the nine project chapters starts with a main project, most often a necklace, some with a matching bracelet or earrings which is then followed by two or three  variations. For example the Sunshine Necklace, gives rise to the Honey Bee Earrings and a second necklace (the Kyoto Necklace) which is inpsired by the Japanese cherry blossom, is developed into a pretty brooch. The Honeycomb necklace and bracelet inspired an adorable Bee Hive Vox. There are twenty-five projects in all. The instructions are clear and comprehensive and are supported by excellent illustrations and lovely photographs. There is a helpful system for grading the difficulty of the main projects so that you can choose one which best suits your beading experience. And there are lots of tips and snippets of extra information from an author who clearly enjoys her beads and her garden and takes pleasure in passing her ideas to others.\u003c\/p\u003e * The Bead Society of Great Britain *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny UK beadwork enthusiast (and quite a few from other countries) will be familiar with the Spellbound Bead Co who is certainly my go-to stockist for a wealth of jewellery making supplies and their stunning kits.  Grab your small beads, needle and thread and get ready to make twenty-five different garden inspired items of jewelry. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDelving into this lovely book is rather like gazing at the company’s stand at a craft fair.  I learned how to make pieces using small beads and off-loom stitches from their kits and now sell designs to magazines; this shows the clarity of their instructions and diagrams.  If you are a beginner there are several pages at the start of the book showing the basics, from using a stop bead to finishing off, plus a pretty foolproof guide to brick stitch, herringbone rope, square stitch and working with flower and leaf beads.  The rest of the book contains the projects, each one having a skill rating and more than one large photograph of the finished piece plus details.  The instructions are aided by color versions of the diagrams in their kits and go through every stage in detail.  Don’t be put off by their length; the author is just being thorough and although sharp eyes are required to read the print which is not large they are also needed to see the seed beads.   This is a large format book and another helpful feature is the spacing out of the instructions and diagrams, making them easier to read and not confusing.  The pieces themselves comprise of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pins and a small box.  Leaves, cherry blossoms, daffodils, sunflowers, butterflies, bees and a colorful bouquet comprise some of the inspirations.  My own favorite has to be the final one which is also on the cover depicting a stunning wisteria.  Some pieces are simple and complement everyday items while others are more for special occasions but all are highly wearable and not “arty” or bizarre.  No piece uses anything that is hard to obtain and many beaders will already own enough to make at least one item without going shopping first – always a plus.

The technique is very simple – you simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a bezel or pendant. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all easy to make and look incredibly professional when done. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn this inspiring book, well-known crafter Sara Naumann shows you just how easy and quick resin jewellery is to make, using minimal equipment and readily available products, and provides over 50 fabulous projects for you to try. You can add numerous items to the resin to achieve different effects. You can place paper in the bezels to act as a background to the resin – such as old book paper, map paper, scrapbook paper and photographs. Paper can also be painted, stencilled, or layered with washi tape before being coated with resin. Try sheet music for a vintage vibe, or origami papers for a fresh, contemporary look. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn addition, you can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers and leaves, feathers, shells, beads and charms, or try adding glitter, coloured inks, nail polish and virtually anything else you can think of. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe versatility of resin jewellery is awe-inspiring, providing papercrafters as well as jewellery-makers with all the skills and inspiration they need to design and make their own stunning pieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove this book.

Ideal for beginners and more experienced crafters, prepare to become addicted!\u003c\/p\u003e * Creative Hobbies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnybody who has ever mixed two-component epoxy glue has already got the required skill to make beautiful jewelry from resin.  For foolproof tips, what else to add to the mix and fifty projects this book will tell you the rest. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI learned how to do this surprisingly simple and fun craft at the age of about eight with a kit.  There are some safety precautions to follow as this is a toxic substance but once you know how to use it (and you already will if you are familiar with epoxy) the rest is fairly easy.  This might make it sound boring, but it is an extremely versatile medium that can make some professional looking pieces and is a great way of recycling and upcycling all kinds of materials.  The first part of the book deals with what you need and how to do the basics, troubleshooting, using paper, beads, findings etc and the rest is devoted to the projects.  Before you get to them there is the excellent feature of a double page spread showing thumbnails of all of them so you can see at a glance what would interest you.  These are arranged in four categories: using paper, coloring agents, powder inclusions and 3-D inclusions covering most basic aspects of this craft.  Each project covers a page and features a large photograph of the finished item, a list of materials and tools plus the instructions as well as a basic description.  This tells you a bit about the piece and also what you will learn by making it.  Items used include all kinds of papers including wrapping paper, old books and paper napkins, coloring with things like nail polish, paint and ink, adding glitter, flitter and embossing powder and embedding elements such as old watch parts, presed flowers and shells.  Most of the pieces are made using findings with frames and bezels but the final section shows how you can repurpose things like odd game tiles, flat metal shapes and even just a plastic sheet for freeform work.  In short, this book manages to show how simple and fun resin work is and it is great to see a book on such an overlooked subject.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMy tip to beginners is get a kit first and you will have all you need to get started.\u003c\/p\u003e * myshelf.com *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was initially struck by the picture on the front of this book.

I have already sourced the best deals on resin and the equipment need to complete the projects and even though it's only March I have planned many of my Christmas gifts.\u003cbr\u003e The book has every bit of information need to complete the projects and a great trouble shooting section. Even if you aren't an experienced crafter I am convinced you will be inspired to take resin jewellery making to new levels using everything from glitter to feathers for pendants, earrings and bracelets that will get your friends and family asking where you bought them.\u003cbr\u003e I'm excited to start and I'm sure you will be too.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Belinda Bentley * Customer Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have never made resin jewellery before, but being a crafty person this book was right up my street.

The techniques section is clear and jargon free so that I never felt out of my comfort zone. Fabulous photography throughout makes this a lovely book to browse through too.

Having this book in front of me has been a revelation. The instructions are clear and concise. Lots of good photos when you need them and plenty of good tips to overcome the inevitable hiccups such as air bubbles.

Macramé goes in and out of trendiness quickly, yet there’s a mystique in the art of knotting that appeals over the long term.

Expect instructions on the basics are provided, from tools and materials to descriptions of a dozen or so different knots (two favourites: Endless Falls and Eternity). The projects are easy to conquer, with time estimates at roughly an hour, though level of difficulty is not indicated. Tips help get the tangles out: look for wooden beads with a hole large enough to accommodate the string; keep scraps 15 inches and longer.
