The Bookkeeper

Klappentext: Dieses Buch soll Sie verführen, Ihre eigenen Kreationen zu verwirklichen.
Erstellen Sie mit wenig Zeitaufwand und viel Fantasie aktuelle Schmuck-highlights für Ihre Garderobe.
Lassen Sie sich verzaubern von den Perlenschönheiten verschiedener Kulturen.

Die Einführung in Materialien und Techniken ist sehr kurz gehalten.   Insgesamt werden 18 Schmuckstücke gezeigt und ihre Herstellung beschrieben, die meisten davon Ketten, einige Armbänder und Ohrringe.

Sieben Ketten werden mit Ankerketten gefertigt, für mich definitiv zuviele, und fast der gesamte Rest mit Baumwollkordel. Offenbar ist Draht beim Ethnostil nicht so sehr gefragt. Die Ketten gefallen mir zum Grossteil sehr gut, jedoch vermisse ich mehr Information über den Ursprung der Kette bzw. des Stiles der Kette. Im Klappentext ist ausdrücklich von verschiedenen Kulturen die Rede. Da erwarte ich auch, dass ich darüber aufgeklärt werde, wo der Stil der Kette seinen Ursprung hat oder woher die Perlen dafür kommen. Alleine das Etikett “Ethno-Stil” als solches genügt mir hier nicht.
