Praise for the hardcover edition"Books aimed at beginners have to strike a delicate balance of presenting enough information to be useful and instructive, but not so much that the reader is overwhelmed. Jan Loney strikes that balance . . . She covers the basics when it comes to tools, supplies, techniques, and studio safety. Every project is broken down into manageable steps and includes plenty of generously sized how-to photos." -Art Jewelry magazine
