SummaryThis book is a treasure trove of creative ideas for beginners and crafters alike. You don't need any previous experience either of working with wire or jewellery making to be able to create the projects in this book.
Wire jewellery dates back to the most ancient of civilisations - beautiful gold wire necklaces have been discovered in ancient burial chambers in Egypt. The basic techniques used for creating handmade pieces have not changed over the centuries, just the designs. This book is a treasure trove of creative ideas for beginners and crafters alike. You don't need any previous experience either of working with wire or jewellery making to be able to create the projects in this book. As wire is so flexible and adaptable it lends itself to being twisted, spiralled, wrapped and formed into an unlimited variety of shapes and styles. The projects featured are varied to appeal to all tastes and ages, and you can easily adapt them. They range from chokers and necklaces, to bracelets and bangles, to rings and scarf slides. The chapters include smart and sophisticated gold and silver designs, ideal for special occasion wear and to accompany the classic little black dress, plus more casual designs made with coloured wire, funky beads and tiny seashells, perfect for weekend wear with jeans and a crisp linen shirt. Each project is accompanied with clear step-by-step photographs and instructions, and there are suggestions for how you can adapt and vary the designs.
35 stylish projects presented in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format Suitable for both beginners and more experienced crafters, the projects use very little in the way of specialist equipment, and all tools and materials are widely available
