The materials and tools needed are inexpensive and readily available, the work portable, the results striking. When you wear the necklaces you make, they elicit admiration and praise. The book opens with an exciting gallery of the work done by Helen Banes and many of her students. Once your appetite is whetted by what you have seen, then Diane Fitzgerald explains how the neckpieces are made and presents you with 19 projects for making your own. Each project is shown with a full page color photograph of the completed piece and a working diagram for it” (From the publishers).Dust-jacket, binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg.
