JANUARY 2010 - ""Steampunk-Style Jewellery: A Maker's Collection of Victorian, Fantasy, and Mechanical Designs"" by Jean Campbell. This how-to jewellery-making book features the work of an array of invited jewellery designers influenced by the growing Steampunk trend. In Steampunk circles, jewellery-makers are often master metal-smiths who combine found objects with fine metals to create elaborate pieces. In Steampunk-Style Jewelry, the projects focus on ""no fire"" techniques--like simple stringing, wire-work, hammering, stamping, gluing, stitching, and off-loom bead-work--so that even a beginner can create pieces in the style. Each project provides a complete materials and tools list, step-by-step instructions, and clear illustrations. This book offers a broad overview of a growing design trend that is part of the literary, industrial design, fashion, and popular culture scene. Readers will learn about the art movement through the many photographic sidebars that explore the many aspects of the trend. Softcover, 144 pages, measures 9"" x 9""."
