Mixed-Media Collage Jewelry by Janette Schuster, Lark Books
Tom broke down the steps and materials needed for creating the Heartbox container brooch included in the title at left so that anyone could understand the process. It was a bit of an effort, but he's glad he had the opportunity to be included in this well-done book on "memory jewelry". It is both instructional and visually interesting plus full of projects by other great artists
such as Kristin Diener, Marlene True, Beth Piver and the author herself, Janette Schuster. It's also available for purchase in our catalog along with the kit that was created in the making of this book.
