Today's preview is for Simply Modern Jewelry, designs from the Editor of Stringing magazine, Danielle Fox.
Targeted toward intermediate beaders, Simply Modern Jewelry gives design a new edge. I like where this book takes my mind - away from the ordinary, and close to the cliff, but not quite over it. There are asymmetrical designs, symmetrical but fun, mixed media, and twists on traditional stringing that will help your imagination go wild!
Some of the exact components depicted may be hard to find (for example, there are some very cool earrings that use PMC charms; you can make your own, or buy something similar in silver) but I don't think exact duplicates of the designs are what Fox had in mind.
A little of a coffee table book to flex your design power, and a little of a how-to book, Simply Modern Jewelry is a good bet for anyone looking for fresh new ideas.
