“A Bounty of Bead and Wire Bracelets”

“A Bounty of Bead and Wire Necklaces”

Hi Ho Silver

When recently reviewing these two books, it felt like I was back in the “Old West.”  I wasn’t out capturing outlaws to collect a bounty.  But, Lark Books had awarded the readers an abundance of fun, fast jewelry projects.  One was the Nexas bracelet which captured carnelian beads in intertwined jump rings.  Another was the Fiesta necklace utilizing a bountiful color combination of beads.

One doesn’t need any esoteric supplies, just a desire to create.  The instructions for the stylish cuffs, bangles, charm bracelets, pendants, etc., all are very well laid out.  Whether your trigger finger is bent out of shape, or your but is sore from spending all that time in the saddle seat, these books will pique your interest.  Soon you will be at your workbench and on your way to exciting new conquests.
