Stylish Pieces with Embossed Metal, Textured Mesh Beads & Wire
by Lisa Peterson
Creating fashionable metal and wire jewellery is easy, enjoyable and requires only inexpensive tools. In no time at all you will find yourself working with aluminum, copper and pewter to fashion accessories that coordinate beautifully with your wardrobe. As you become more familiar with the metals, advance to creating faux surfaces like enamel. These designs are perfect focal pieces for existing beaded necklaces you may already have in your jewellery collection. Why not give an old piece of jewellery a new, trendy look? Watch the discount jewellery stores for inexpensive beaded necklaces suitable for embellishing with your unique style. Once your creative juices are really flowing, try working with Rubber Stamps. You can't make a mistake! Use the designs in this book as a jump start. Remember this style isn't supposed to be perfect. Consider using found objects to give your design that one-of-a-kind natural look. So jump in, create, have fun and play! Be confident that your friends and family will admire your jewellery!
