"After you read this book, you are going to be asking everyone you know, 'You aren't going to throw that broken necklace away, are you?' Being a mixed media jewelry artist using recycled and found objects, I found this book to be a real gem (no pun intended!). Ms. Schweder has a real gift for combining things you wouldn't think would work together but do!
