The books offered here have been read, re-read, annotated, sometimes stained with coffee, in short tested and approved.
Creative hobbies can be quite obscure when you are not gifted with your hands or gifted but have a more or less developed practical sense. These books are for you! They can also be used by the most gifted among us to enrich their technique and find good ideas.
The books presented in these pages have all been read and used by me. Faced with the loneliness of reading a diagram, arm yourself with patience and do not hesitate to ask for help from those around you (parents, friends). Through some of my tutorials , I will try to put into practice some of the explanations given in these books. On the occasion of the Letter of the week I will from time to time make a small point on one of these books.
Happy reading to all.

At the time of all Internet , it is also useful to go to real shops on the floor of the cows. You will find here a non-exhaustive list of useful addresses to provide you with material.
I did not visit all the real shops (especially those outside Paris). I therefore have complete confidence in the professionals who work in these shops. If you know a store that deserves to be known, do not hesitate to send me the address and some photos so that I can disseminate the information on this blog. If you are aware of the moving or closing of one of the shops referenced on this page, please let me know as well so that we can all take advantage of this news.
I take advantage of this page to say a very big thank you to two shops which particularly helped me to create my first large stock of pearls, findings, ribbon, and other essential items for jewelry: thank you to the Tout à loisirs team de Paris , rue des Archives and that of La Perlerie 22 rue du Temple in Paris. My beginnings would have been much more complicated without their soft price for "young" creators.
