The Jewellery Making Handbook
Simple Techiniques and Step-By-Step Projects
by Sharon McSwiney, Penny Williams, Claire C Davies and Jennie Davies
Another new entry in the popular Handbook series, this shows you how to make your own jewelry. It is NOT a book
aimed at the beader, but at those more adventurous souls with the equipment to tackle soldering, hammering, drilling
and more. It also covers polymer clays, some wirework and a bit of beading as well as a smattering of other
techniques.
This is a good book for getting to grips with some of these tools, and discovering what they can do. It really
shows you how to know your materials too, and everything gets put through its paces. Find out what you can make
with wire, with sheet metal, with clay, with string and even cake decorations and pebbles. The pieces in here are
very modern, and run from the very formal (several things would look great with a suit) to the informal, and would
suit most tastes. As usual with Search Press there are plenty of easy-to-follow large photographed steps to
everything, and for once there are no gallery pieces, just 100% projects. Useful to anybody who wants to try
something a bit different from beadwork.
