A dark romanticism pervades The Art of Forgotten Things. Necklaces
and bracelets using one-of-a-kind components hint at fragments of
stories that exist only in the imagination, evoking a
half-remembered, mysterious past. Each piece tells a story, if only
one could find the key. Melanie shows how to create delicate beaded
frames, clasps, nets, and components with seed beads and combine
them with mixed-media elements for jewelry with an evocative look
and feel. An extensive techniques section includes instructions for
flat and tubular peyote, right-angle weave, bead netting, bead
embroidery, and picot edges and fringes; basic jewelry techniques
such as wire wrapping; mixed-media techniques such as foiling; and
additional embellishment. The author discusses various types of
beads used in the projects, from tiny seed beads to crystals,
pressed glass, pearls, and more, as well as other materials, tools,
and "treasures" that make each creation unique. Detailed
step-by-step instructions are provided for each project and most
also feature variations in which the project is dramatically
altered by adding or changing elements. There is also an emphasis
on using readily available materials and items a person might
already have in their collection, along with directions for
locating more unusual or vintage items.
