This really is more a book to flip through for ideas. I found the instructions hard to follow, not well organized, but the pieces are rather simple and you just need to look closely to see what is needed. Each project has at least one large photo accompanying it and there are 50 projects! The author also explains the meanings of certain charms and alleged powers of stones and crystals. Techniques are shown in the very back of the book.
