Semiprecious Salvage

April 14, 2008 by Alissa

semiprecious_salvage.jpgStephanie Lee’s Semiprecious Salvage: Creative Found-Art Jewelry is a notable new title for both jewelry and mixed-media artists. Focusing on vintage and vintage-inspired style, the artist provides practical and timeless techniques and projects that readers can put into practice with items found around the house. I especially like the projects that feature tiny snippets and scrolls of text that are aged and then embedded into works of jewelry.

    the major detriment to this book is that there is very little salvage. she promotes the use of copper tubing, getting a tubing cutter, using resin (which is harmful to people and other living things), getting brass, aluminum and nickel sheet.
    i reveiewed this book hoping that it would really be about things that could be salvaged to make other things, particularly jewelry, but it really isn’t.

    i will just continue to use really salvaged materials to make my ooak jewelry.
