Book Description
Semiprecious Salvage shows readers how to think beyond the techniques taught in traditional beading and jewelry books in order to create found art jewelry. Mixed-media applications like sewing, plasterwork and altering found objects tie together to create jewelry pieces such as brooches, pendants, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and belts. In addition to thought-provoking stories on the origination of some of the found items, Stephanie provides the reader with practical jewelry-making techniques that they can incorporate into their own inspired pieces. A simple, organic approach gives the reader limitless ideas for crafting their own jewelry as well as ideas for locating found items whether it be on a nature walk, one's travels or in the comforts of home.

 A Fabulous Journey! July 10, 2008
Anyone who loves mixed media art jewelry will thoroughly enjoy this book. Foremost, the projects are spectacular. The instructions are clear and concise with excellent photographs. The inspiration alone, is well worth the cost of the book itself! That's because Ms. Lee takes you on a virtual "expedition" with her as she moves from one project to the next. The overall experience of this book is absolutely fabulous!

 inspiration June 23, 2008
I found the ideas and projects presented in this book to be fun. While I have not done any of the projects as yet, my metal group is planning a fun day workshop with this book as our inspiration.

This book is among my favorites. Stephanie is generous in her instruction and includes many beautiful photos of her process and finished products. I love her style and love her spirit of not being attached to all those strict metalsmithing rules and regulations...just go with it and and have fun in the process...trust yourself, use what you love and what you have available on hand. That, in my opinion, is a true heart and I really love that about her.
I had the opportunity to meet her and work with her at several of the workshops she offers. She is amazing in her spirit, very kind and generous and loads of fun. I highly recommend her classes,as well as her book, if for no other reason than to know her and be around her lovely, open, kind and generous spirit.
Intimidating art made accessible! April 23, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
As I flipped through the pages of this book I was inspired by its beauty from start to finish. Stephanie's projects that may look initially intimitdating are easily understood through photos and clear instructions. The layout of the book is very easy on the eyes and the photos are lovely as well. I would not say this is a beginner jewelry book as it requires soldering, etching and epoxy which take some investment in time and money but doesn't all good art? I would encourage brave mixed media artists to try something new by choosing one of the projects in Stephanie's book and see how you might use the processes in your art. Happy reading!
