In a library of more around two hundred (I stopped counting) books I use for inspiration and technique, this is a big favorite. Any time I need a fresh perspective, this is a go-to resource I'd hate to be without.
While I will never copy any design in the book, it always gives me a new twist or a clever approach to my jewelry design, a material I never thought of using, etc. The photos are beautiful. In addition to the pieces that have instructions, is a gallery of other inspirational pieces -- this book abounds with fun, funky and clever ideas.
If you make jewelry or any kind of art that is non-traditional, or you appreciate one-of-a-kind artistry, this book is definitely worth the price.
