Wrap, Stitch, Fold & Rivet: Making Designer Metal Jewelry (Lark Jewelry Books)

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!
