20 TO MAKE PEWTER JEWELRY S GRIFFITHS $9.95
Description
Pewter is a soft metal that has been used decoratively for hundreds of years and has enormous versatility and potential for contemporary crafters and jewellery makers. It's relatively cheap to buy; is soft malleable and easy to use; and requires very little in the way of equipment or skill. This book contains 20 simple easy-to-make jewellery pieces including brooches necklaces and bracelets all based on the simplest technique for embossing sheet pewter - low-relief embossing. The pewter is combined with semi-precious stones and beads; glued to other materials such as wood plastic and little scraps of fabric; and coloured with glass paints giving the finished pieces a bright colourful contemporary feel. Each project is accompanied by a beautiful full-colour photograph of the finished piece; clear step-by-step instructions; lists of the materials and equipment needed; and templates (where required). Two versions of each project are included each mad
