"A great collection of necklace projects that are easy, fun and can
be fiddled with to easily be made your own. I was immediately
inspired! There are projects for everyone in this book--beginners
to advanced--and they are really great projects, trendy and
eye-catching. The photography rocks, and my favorite is Candie's
little sketches for a few of the designs. It's an all-around great
book. You should go get one." --Lorelei Eurto, author of
Bohemian-Inspired Jewelry "Highly recommended! Candie has brought
design lessons and techniques to school us on all things
necklace-related. The projects range from simple designs for a
beginner to complex multi-layered and collaged designs that are
signature Candie Cooper pieces. The author offers design
alternatives and suggestions to push the reader to explore their
own ideas and shares her sketches of her designs. Candie brings on
the DIY for clever ways to customize your jewelry and components
throughout the book. Pull out your bead stash and see what you can
come up with, with Necklaceology as your guide." --Heather Powers,
author of Jewelry Designs from Nature "There are some cool
techniques in here that I haven't tried before--like using a pearl
knotter and making epoxy clay beads. Candie's a great teacher. I've
met her, and her upbeat personality and give-it-a-try spirit really
come through in this book." --Anastasia Bosakowski, Crafter's
Choice "What a beautiful and original book! A wonderful guide to
have. " --Chicago Metal Arts Guild blog "Includes 40 fun projects
and tons of inspiration! Stylish and fun to make, there's something
for every aesthetic in these diverse projects. If you are familiar
with either of Candie's best-selling books Metalworking 101 for
Beaders or Felted Jewelry, then you know what a delightful designer
and instructor she is. As with all Lark books, this one has
easy-to-follow photos and detailed instructions." --Craft Gossip "A
fun and fanciful addition to any crafting library! This book
combines inspiration from many old cultures and time periods, along
with the wholly contemporary urge to recycle and reclaim, to
produce 40 projects for necklace design that allow for the use of
found objects, mismatched beads and findings, and everyday items.
After the normal first several pages listing tools, materials and
techniques, the projects are furthered with step-by-step
instructions and photos along with reproductions of the
author's own sketches for almost every piece. This is a well-laid
out and concise approach to getting your feet wet as a novice or
pushing your boundaries as an old hand." --Scorpio Moon Jewelry
