Unexpected Findings.....Clever Jewelry Book and YOU Can WIN a Copy

Today is Work Table Wednesday at the B'sue Boutiques Creative Group  but apparently I haven't gotten much farther than this book...

It's Michelle Mach's first volume, and I'd have to say, it's about time!   Michelle has written over 100 articles for print in most of your favorite beading magazines.

She has also written a number of tutorials for the B'sue Boutiques website.

You can find them here:

Michelle shines when it comes to easy-peasy designing.   She can look at a simple bit and see things that many of us don't, at first glance.   Her jewelry designs are simple but compelling and easy to wear.....take another look at the pieces on the cover of her book:

B'sue Boutiques is thrilled to be referenced as a source of supply in Michelle's book, and some of our stampings and findings were also used in the projects.

The book on the table is MY personal copy, signed over to me:

 

Signed copies of jewelry designers' books are very precious to me.   If you are such an author and send me a copy of your book signed over to me, you will be sure to get a review on my blog!

But I must say, Michelle is a very special designer to me and I am just thrilled to receive this gift from her.

I also have an extra copy sent to me from the publisher.    YOU WANT THIS BOOK......and!

YOU CAN WIN IT.

Here's how:

JUST LEAVE US A COMMENT on this blog to let me know you're reading along, because I want to know that you're a reader----why give you this wonderful book if you're not going to make use of it?

Leave the comment by Friday at noon (November 14th)

I will use the random number generator and letcha know on this blog, who won.

So...SPEAK UP!   I might be persuaded to send you a few B'sue goodies along with the book.  Let's get a big hurray for MICHELLE and LOTS of comments, please!

And if you feel so compelled, would you be kind enough to shout out this blog post on your social media pages?   All I need here are comments, but the kindness of a comment on your FB page, a tweet,  a pin on Pinterest would be very much appreciated.

Among other things I've picked up, I'm Thinking of the almost new coco-cola bottle caps I picked up in the parking lot to use in jewelry, and also, I'm thinking about my son who gave me a plastic skeleton face that "I might want to use in jewelry design", it's a book that I not only want, but,I need and it's not fun to be needy.

[Erin Prais-Hintz]

This is a GREAT book! You are so right about Miss Michelle... she has an ease about her designs. They always look so polished and wearable and the cleverness of her use of materials is always inspiring. I had the rare opportunity to meet her in September and she was wearing the piece from the upper right hand corner of the cover. Couldn't take my eyes off it! I am also honored that she chose me to contribute to the book. I truly treasure it. Please don't put my name in the hat, but let someone else win. I just wanted to come and comment because I always am inspired when I visit B'Sues Boutique! Enjoy the day. Erin

I remember when you began putting Michelle's tutorials on your site. So glad to see such an accomplishment. I have just started making my jewelry again. Been gone for some time due to illness. Still kept up on your amazing videos and blog. B'Sues is the only supplier for me. I just so appreciate your dedication to continuing to inspire and share your amazing knowledge. You have been an inspiration to so many! Looking forward to creating again!
