    handcrafted jewelry magazine

    I just picked up a copy of handcrafted jewlery magazine (I know, its not really a book, but it is a special issue) and I wanted to let everyone know its really well done and the projects are really fun. Its a lot of mixed media stuff, and everything has step by step photos with very clear instructions, which is great, because I really don't know much about how to do this type of stuff. Thre's a very good article about which type of resin to use with a comparison chart that I found very helpful.

    The only downside is, while I have a pretty good stash of beads and findings, I don't have any of the crafting materials they use, (like metal letter stamps, resin, polymer, etc) so now my wish list has grown much bigger, but unfortunately my budget has not grown at all...

    I guess there's always Santa.

     I have that issue and like you, I discovered so many things I want to try. I read that comparison on different resins/glazes because that's something I really want to do soon.

    I bought it but I haven't looked through it yet other than flipping through at the news stand.  Looks like it should have some useful ideas in it.
