\"A“Lisa, I looked inside your book and see that you’ve got some interesting projects – explained really well.” ~Freda-K<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A cool thing about the Internet is how it allows us to meet and interact with so many great people that share similar passions and interests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa Crone from A Bead A Day, is one of those people for me. On her blog, she features new and different examples of beads and bead related items… including many things you probably would not have seen on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n

She even did a Polymer Clay Tutor<\/a> post about a month ago… so she definitely ranks right up there in my books :-)<\/span><\/p>\n

And speaking of books, Lisa recently sent me a review copy of her new book, A Bead in Time<\/a>\"\".<\/span><\/p>\n

When the package arrived, the first thing that caught my eye was the inspiring cover graphics. This is the type of book that you would be happy to leave out on your coffee table to help bring some flavor and interest to a room.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the photos are one of my favorite parts. Similar to how I create color palettes from photos of flowers in my garden, Lisa draws inspiration for her jewelry from snapshots of her vacations and other scenes of daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s the colors in the photo. Sometimes it’s the shapes. But mostly it’s the overall feel of the pictures that she captures and encapsulates into her jewelry designs. I love it!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"
\nJust look at how the beach imagery in this cover shot beautifully showcases the bead items that Lisa chose to lead with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other wonderful examples inside the pages of the book, include some brilliantly inspired dandelion jewelry, as well as a bracelet framed by the backdrop photo of a wrought iron fence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Probably my favorite project in the book is of the Summer Salad Cuff Bracelet made from colorful beads and a fork… because you all know how much I love that Silverware Jewelry<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now this book doesn’t have any polymer clay beads in it, and a lot of the techniques are ones I already know, but for me the big value was the visual inspiration it offers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa does an excellent job at bringing you into her world through the stories she tells. After reading this book you look at your surroundings in a whole new way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every color, every form, has the potential to become a wonderful piece of art jewelry. It is just a matter of opening your eyes to see the possibilities!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Lisa for allowing me the opportunity to share your wonderful book with\u00a0 everyone here at my blog. I wish you enormous success with it. If anyone is interested, it is available through Amazon at this link: A Bead in Time<\/a>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/td>\nDisclosure:<\/strong> With the understanding that I would publish a review, Lisa Crone sent me a complimentary copy of her book, A Bead in Time<\/em>, published by North Light Books. The thoughts and opinions shared above, are honest and sincere. I would not say anything that wasn’t. If you purchase a copy of the book via one of the Amazon links on this web page, Amazon will provide me with a small kickback. It is nothing to write home about, but in the spirit of full disclosure, it’s best that you know.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
