BEAD chic

by Margot Potter

is out!!!

Margot Potter's lovely new book, BEAD chic,

(pronounced "Beeeeeed Cheeeeque" in the alluring French fashion!) is out today! It is available for order at Amazon! Here is the link to the page:

http://www.amazon.com/Bead-Chic-Projects-Inspired-Variations/dp/1440303150

I have checked out the Amazon "search inside" feature on the book, by hitting the Amazon book photo which is featured on the link above. I can tell from this perusal that Margot's exceptional and unique idea has been realized! This idea which she thought up was to offer the reader 36 jewelry projects, and then have us, her fellow designers, show how to make variations. This gives the reader the creative flexibility to make variations on variations--not just copy! How fantastic and brilliant!

All told, 72 designs are displayed in total by using our riffs of her designs!

This is far more than you get in an average jewelry design book!

I haven't seen the book yet as it just came out today, but she has some wonderful jewelry designers assisting her with the variations, some of whom I mention at the bottom of this entry. My short term memory this afternoon has left out some VIPs (whoa there nellie!) so I apologize for that, but I did manage to put myself in there.

In all honesty, I added myself at the bottom of this post because I had SO MUCH FUN being a part of this super cool book. I am proud to be in it. We shall look forward to reading it and writing more about it shortly! Margot's website is: The Impatient Crafter Blog

and the full title of the book is:

Bead Chic: 36 Stylish Jewelry Projects & Inspired Variations

thank you, Margot, for more great inspiration!
