oh cripes, not another one...
Yikes! It's a collection of what I'd consider mishaps at my bench! Oh, lord... I'm sorry, apparently it's called "art" by folks with probably more money than taste. Page after page of weird art project jewelry, most of it unwearable on purpose, to be "exhibited" and looked at, rather than worn. The highlight of the book was a dead mouse wearing a crown...

Yikes! It's a collection of what I'd consider mishaps at my bench! Oh, lord...
I'm sorry, apparently it's called "art" by folks with probably more money than taste. Page after page of weird art project jewelry, most of it unwearable on purpose, to be "exhibited" and looked at, rather than worn. The highlight of the book was a dead mouse wearing a crown of pearls, suspended in a block of clear acrylic. When that's the highlight...? *scratching my head* I hate to sound so narrow-minded, but I keep running into this with a lot of the jewelry books I've been buying. I guess maybe I'm just craving a book with pictures of some things people might wanna.. you know.. actually wear? I was pretty sure that's what jewelry was supposed to be, for the most part. I guess despite everyone thinking I'm a weirdo all my life--and me being proud of it--maybe I'm actually old-fashioned and boring after all. :-o

David Watkins' Design Sourcebook Jewellery provides a focus on the works of the best jewelry makers around the world, from traditional rings to sculptured pieces. The materials and approaches vary widely but the unifying theme is the different design approaches of jewellery artists and any involved in jewelry making will find it an important source of inspiration. Excellent hands-on reference for budding artists and crafts people.
