My brother, Josh, for offering to help with the book. My sister, Heather, for being my design consultant. My brother-in-law, Tom, for his encouraging response to my jewelry: I would never wear that.

I remember the first time I bought a piece of grown-up jewelry. It was a necklace of blue-stone links that had a forward-facing clasp decorated with blue-stone dangles.

I remember this purchase so well because 1.) I bought it to wear to a dear friends bridal shower, and 2.) I felt so extravagant spending forty dollars on an accessory. (Mind you, at the time I was a new grad living in Big City Chicago on assistant-to-the-assistants assistant wages!) I still like the necklaceat least it was a tasteful splurgebut today I have only one thought when I wear it: I could have made this myself! You see, once you learn the fundamental techniques for creating jewelry, youll realize how easy it is to make the stylish necklaces, bracelets, and earrings you drool over at boutiques and department stores. Really! I learned how to make simple beaded jewelry on the job. Im the editor of Interweave Presss Stringing magazine, which means that I have had the good fortune of being taught and inspired by talented bead and beaded-jewelry artists. With this book I hope to pass on to you what Ive learned. Ill start by introducing you to the tools, techniques, and supplies youll need to make your own jewelry.

Then with each chapter Ill share a suggestion for how to approach a jewelry project, such as Mix it Up, Play with Symmetry, and Experiment with Sizing, followed by designs that exemplify that chapters topic. Of course, every project comes with thorough step-by-step instructions and photos. My wish is that you will find at least one project in this book that you will be dying to make. And when you wear it, youll be proud to say, Why, yes, I did make this myself!Shopping for beads and other supplies is half the fun of making jewelry What - photo 5
