Embroidered Jewellery

Here’s a fresh take on embroidery and jewelry making! Using some 30 hand and machine embroidery techniques, textile artist Shirley Anne Sherris guides readers through ten jewelry projects, including a floral necklace created from layers of sheer fabrics and a bracelet made from metal rings and covered with colorful embroidered patches. There’s rich technical information, from how to calculate sizes to innovative uses for beads and sequins. Fabric choices range from sheers and cut lace to felt and leather, and the unexpected creative touches include incorporating such found objects as metal bits and garden mesh.
