Judging a Book by its Cover(s)


A special edition of Bead & Wire Jewelry Exposed is now available through the Crafter's Choice book club. It's the same book with a different cover, which features Fernando Dasilva's beautiful Twisted Garden necklace. Isn't it interesting to see this "twist" on the original version? The colors and layout create a softer, more romantic look.

I like the original version because it shows the crinkled beading wire and exposing the underlying materials is the focus of the book. It also has an edgier look that stands out when compared to other jewelry making books. But, I can see how the pink version will appeal to a different set of jewelry makers and I really like it either way. So, go ahead, judge our book by its covers!
