Start from your favorite journal page and discover the jewelry-making process with A String of Expression. After studying a personal journaling page, elements such as texture, color, emotion and symbolism determine the selection of beads and other materials. Author June Roman's pieces are divided into five chapters — each an area of life that you can identify with. See the author's own pages and hear how she went about creating jewelry from each page. Each project will offer a new jewelry technique that could be applied to many jewelry projects. Pieces created out of an authentic mindset will hold the truest meaning to you, and June Roman shows you how to develop meaning and create the jewelry.
