Sea Glass Jewelry – Book Review

| 0 comments

Sea Glass Jewelry: Create Beautiful and Unique Designs from Beach-Found Treasures by Lindsay Furber and Mary Beth Beuke is published by Ulysses Press and retails for $14.95 in the US and $17.50 in Canada. A little over one hundred pages, this paperback has lots of full-color photographs of beautiful sea glass. In fact, the photographs are definitely a highlight of the book.

While there are sea glass jewelry how-to projects in this book, it is not just about how to make jewelry but a general reference book about sea glass. It discusses the different types of glass and origins. It really is a book for collectors, not just jewelry makers.

That said, it would have been nice to see a few more projects. There are 9 projects in the book. Each project includes detailed step-by-step written directions and accompanying color photos of many of the steps. There is also a chapter on the tools used for the various projects.

While I was not overwhelmed by this book, I think it is a good starting place for anyone who loves collecting sea glass and would like to turn some of her/his collection in wearable jewelry pieces.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
