Bracelet Project Featured in New Lark Book: Beading with Charms!

I'm very happy to announce that I have a project featured in the new Lark book Beading With Charms!


The project is a step-by-step how-to on creating heart charms using recycled tin and making a bracelet using the heart charms. Here's the bracelet you can learn how to make:


I'm totally thrilled with the entire book. With the turn of every page there's another gorgeous piece of jewelry with excellent step-by-step instructions. I especially like the book because it features several "outside-of-the-box" projects, including a great bracelet by found object jewelry guru Susan Lenhart Kazmer.

I've known for quite a while that my bracelet was going to be included in the book. I didn't saying anything to anyone but family about it until now because, well with my luck being what it is, I was sure something was going to happen that would keep it from being in the book. But on Saturday I received a complimentary copy of the book in the mail and lo and behold, there was my project on page 92! I was positively giddy! ONE, because I somehow managed to thwart Murphy's Law, which always seems to find me, and my project was actually included. TWO, simply because I was published! And THREE, because the caliber of the projects in the book was beyond my expectations and I was flattered to be included alongside many artists who I admire.

So if you're interested in creating charm bracelet/necklace, or need some creative inspiration, this is a great book to pick up! Hope you enjoy it if you decide to buy it!
