book: fabric jewelry

Posted February 19th, 2008 by kath_red

Fabric Jewelry: 25 Designs to Make Using Silk, Ribbon, Buttons, and Beads by Teresa Searle published by St. Martin’s Griffin (January 8, 2008). Distributed in Australia through Allen and Unwin.

A colourful and eclectic collection of fun and simple designs and projects. I am glad that this book made it out there, in the world of mixed media and fibre jewelry books (that I am loving), because there are some good and interesting techniques used to make, on the whole, some lovely projects (if sometimes a tad over the top with extra decorative effects).

I was happy to see the humble yoyo make it into two different designs. The projects in the book use the qualities of different types of fabric to good effect – knitted fabric, woven and raw fabrics, soft and silky chiffons and satins too. There are plenty of techniques to help the beginning sewer learn as well as add some variety to more experienced sewers projects.
