Book Review - Simply Modern Jewelry



Simply Modern Jewelry

When it comes to simple bead books, I really like Simply Modern Jewelry. There is more here than just bead stringing, but most of the techniques are very basic. It is a good way to get started beading and build up a collection of beautiful pieces. There are also a lot of ideas in here for more complex projects. Looking at the designs, it is easy to see way to embellish and evolve the pieces into something one of a kind.

My favorite thing about this book is the uses for many different size and shape beads. It takes some everyday techniques and gives them a unique spin. This book has some good basic techniques, alongside some very interesting designs.

This book will not be for everyone. The pieces have clean lines and a very modern style, and it is named as such right in the title. It does not have any complex bead weaving or ornate pieces. Still, it is a book I enjoy having in my collection.
