The Next Best Thing to Taking a Class with Stephanie October 5, 2008
Colorful, fun and funky - that's the jewelry style of Stephanie Sersich. Well known for her "Spiny Knotted Bracelet," Stephanie shares her youthful jewelry designs in a variety of projects. The famous Spiny is here along with easy to make knotted earrings and lovely embellished necklaces. If you haven't ever taken a class from the vivacious Ms. Sersich, this book is the next best thing.

As a fellow glass beadmaker, I am a big fan of Ms. Sersich. Her bead designs are always colorful, well-made, and make me smile! Her jewelry is just as colorful and fun, and her designs were all new to me. The projects are fun and functional, and I am continually inspired by both her jewelry design and bead design. This book will not be going up on a shelf - it's staying in my work area!

This is a nice book if you would like to learn a little bit about the history of glass. I thought some of the projects were great and nice and fresh while some of the other projects were out in left field and not my style. This book is 128 pages in length with 20 projects. I was expecting some better projects in this book and also more projects. An example of one of the projects in the book is how to stack beads together and then adding this stack of beads onto at a piece of ribbon. Do we really need a project to tell use how to do this? One of the projects and why I bought the book was her Double-Clasp bracelet project. I love this idea and how you can make several variations of these little bracelets and mix and match them. I think some things are good in this book but some things need to be improved upon.
