"Stitched Jewels" presents 25 exquisite projects incorporating cloth, textiles and other materials, all created by top designers. Because the craft involves such a wonderfully wide selection of techniques, these artists can all show off their diverse backgrounds: Ellen Gerritse constructs an ornate leaf neckpiece from bright mesh swatches, Deborah Boschert layers circles of cotton and fuses them over a leather cord and Bethany Fields shows off her theatrical training in a dramatic black and white gingham bracelet. They're unique, beautiful and fun to make.
