Jewelry

"Jewelry explores many of the possibilities of working jewelry pieces in the home. Whether your taste is for ornate dress jewelry or you prefer the more natural effect of seeds and shells used as beads, the techniques and materials are explained in easy-to-follow terms illustrated in detail. The materials vary from the orthodox to the imaginative and are selected so that you will need the minumum of equipment. New materials, such as self-hardening clay and cold enamel, are included so that you can now work clay necklaces and imitate the exquisite finish of enamelling without incurring the expense of a kiln. Many materials can be found - pebbles can be polished, shells segmented and painted and feathers dyed to provide unique and delightful jewelry pieces. Also everyday objects such as forks, pasta and tissue paper, can be transformed into striking jewelry."--BOOK JACKET.
