This was a pretty neat book showing how to take random things you might have around the house or in your jewelry box and make a unique piece of jewelry out of them. I would think it best for someone who is an beginner/intermediate jewelry crafter.

I have been working on Industrial Chic jewelry and this book gave me other ideas and ways to do attachments as well as ideas for design. A great reference book

The items in the book are childish and simplistic at best. These are the nine more words needed for this review.

Good starting point for creating junk jewelry.

Page after page of very unique and do-able ideas……. a must for every jewelry maker……..pictures just make you want to put something together with your “stash” and anything else you might discover you have. Great book, great buy.
