Now Available!
Yes, it’s our very own book! It even goes with our recycling theme – ‘cause there’s a
section on revamping jewelry you’ve already got. We usually call it “cannibalizing” but
our publisher suggested the tamer “revamping” moniker. And given what a spectacular job
they did photographing everything and laying out the book, right down to the terrific type
fonts, we decided to heed their advice.
We love love love this book, and can honestly say we’d buy it…if we
hadn’t already written it. The jewelry designs are guaranteed to make you sparkle,
the instructions are clear and we made sure to provide plenty of inspiration. Also, given
that Marty’s a thorough history geek (“And proud of it!” says she), she took it upon herself
to study the history of jewelry – so there’s a whole bunch of “Tidbits” sprinkled throughout
the book that tell you things like what the first recipe for making fake pearls was. Snail
slime was one of the key ingredients. Yep – snail…slime.
Next up? Head Over Heels: Shoes That Knock
Your Socks Off, a book about recycling/revamping/cannibalizing
those shoes lurking in the back of your closet. Save them from obscurity!
Marty’s
working with North
Light Books and F&W Publishing to bring a bunch
of fun and slightly outrageous ideas to a pair of stilettos
near you. It should hit bookshelves in fall of ’08.
