Mixed Metals: Contemporary Jewelry by Fox / Barta

Description

Mix up your jewelry repertoire! Create fabulous designs featuring a variety of metal beads, charms, chains & findings including silver, gold & base metals. The editors of “Stringing” and “Beadwork” magazines show off their design skills with 30 unique projects that incorporate all kinds of metals like silver, gold, copper, brass, PMC, and more. Projects are constructed using basic stringing and wireworking techniques that are accessible to beginners, while the boutique-style designs will captivate the more experienced beader. Most metal jewelry books focus on making the metal components either with PMC, wireworking, or metalsmithing. “Mixed Metals” is so much easier, focusing on making jewelry with pre-made metal beads, charms, chain, & components combined with accent beads using simple stringing and wireworking techniques. You’ll find 30 projects with detailed instructions that show creative ways to use silver, gold, and base metals in jewelry designs – as well as ideas for mixing metals & using faux metals. No metalworking required! Soft cover, 128 pages, measures 8-1/2″ x 9″:.
