Wonderful Handmade Jewellery

There are very few Jewelry Artistes in Singapore who publish DIY books on handmade jewelry making.  Jestina M Hong is one person whom I would declare, has distinguished herself by putting her designs on print, providing us with a great source of inspiration. I bought her first book ” Enchanted Handmade Jewellery Making” and her second book “Wonderful Handmade Jewellery”.  They are books to treasure.  The photographs were very well taken in vivid colors.  The instructions are in simple English and every step is easy to follow.  Probably she had very carefully tested each design.  The illustrations and graphics are very beautiful and clear. All you need to do is follow diagrams step by step visually, an advantage even if you are foreign to English.

I refer to her books as a source of inspiration ever since I first began my hobby making beaded handmade jewelry.  After 4 years, I find myself referring to the same books time and again, despite ready resources that I can get from the internet and whatever I can lay hands on at our local libraries and bookstalls.  In “Wonderful”, there are useful references to local DIY jewelry shops too.

Start the hobby and start bonding with your loved ones. You will be surprised  how you can touch their hearts with your first creation that is made with lots of love. This book can be found at major book stores in Singapore. I also found it at one convenient location at “Artica“, The Cathay, Singapore.
