Product Description

Making gorgeous handcrafted jewelry can be an amazingly simple process that even beginners will quickly master—as long as they have this guide by their side. Written by an experienced artist and teacher, and generously illustrated with attractive how-to photos and drawings, it demonstrates a wealth of easy techniques in superb detail. Twenty dazzling projects—including a twisted wire choker, bangle bracelet, bead pod pin, and mixed metal earrings— are created by wrapping, stitching, and folding metal, and by making cold connections with basic screws, bolts, pop rivets, eyelets, brads, and nails. Sophisticated photographs of each piece highlight its rich textures and visual complexity. Would-be jewelers will love this—and beaders, memory crafters, and anyone eager to explore metal jewelry will want it, too!

Great Organic Style Jewelry Projects5
I wanted to step up from wirework and this fills the bill. There are a lot of interesting projects to try, along with suggested variations that give you ideas for taking the process in your own direction. The pieces are very organic in feel & look which I find are attractive as little art creations, as well as jewelry. Great pictures, good instructions & techniques.

Inspiring5
A great resource for designers looking for creative cold connections. I've made several of the projects in the book, and found the instructions easy to follow, while still encouraging people to make the project their own rather than simply replicating what's shown. Lovely photos of jewelry made with the techniques discussed in the book.
