Just in time for the New Year I have a giveaway of the new book:
French General: A Year of Jewelry: 36 Projects with Vintage Beads
by Kaari Meng
Leave a comment in today’s post by Wednesday January 7, 2015 and you are in the running for this pretty and inspiring book that is sure to get you in the bling making mood! Open to U.S. residents only please.
I have had the pleasure of shopping at the French General Store here in LA and this book is as pretty and wonderful as the store. The projects are ones virtually every jewelry maker can do and be wearing within the day. Just the type us busy crafters like!
More about the Lark Crafts book:
The gorgeous lifestyle store French General has legions of devoted fans—and its founder, designer and stylist Kaari Meng, has created an exquisite book based on the boutique’s beloved aesthetic. Inspired by vintage French beads, these 36 simple but gorgeous jewelry projects go month by month, season by season. With evocative names like Les Grandes Vacances (Vacation by the Seashore), La Rentrée (Back to School) and La Saint Valentin (Valentine’s Day), the 12 sections each feature three pieces of jewelry-including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
