Product information :
Of all my books on various art and craft techniques, Bead on a Wire is my favorite. While I enjoy many arts and crafts — including fiber arts, rubber stamping on fabric, and artist books — wire-art jewelry has become my passion! I'm simply addicted to bending wire and shaping it into creative jewelry pieces. In this new book, you'll learn so much about making your own jewelry components (jump rings, earring hooks, handmade clasps, bead connectors, wire links, and more), you'll never have to buy them again. It's so much more satisfying, too, to make professional-quality jewelry from the most basic materials. People who admire my jewelry often ask me, "Where did you get the kit?" There is no kit, I tell them. I start with straight wire, beads, and charms. Occasionally I will use a commercially made clasp, but 99 percent of my jewelry is handmade by me using a few simple tools. And no soldering! No harsh chemicals! Wire-art jewelry is probably the safest and the most satisfying craft you could ever undertake. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it.
