"EXPOSED" IS OUT

After months of anxiety the book "Exposed - Bead and Wire Jewelry" is hitting the shelves of the best bookstores countrywide. As I have already mentioned here this book is a collaboration of 3 designers, this blogger, Katie Hacker and Margot Potter, both veterans of the publishing industry with a large number of titles under their signature. On this endeavor I am the newbie one what makes this achievement something to be celebrated. 

To give you a better vision of what's within I am posting several images of my jewelry projects ahead.

The whole conception of the book was based on bringing to the spotlight all the components that usually are hidden in order to assemble the design. 

All the projects feature only Beadalon®  findings and Crystallized™  elements, giving to the reader the best of the best what is available in the industry right now.

Stringing wire, clasps, jump rings, chains, connectors, memory wire and flexible colored wires were exposed to the extreme to highligth the multi facets of the best crystals elements produced in the world.
