Metal Clay – Beyond the Basics by Carol A. Babineau
“Metal clay artistry with no limits!
Are you ready for the next wave of artistic, wearable jewelry made from fantastic metal clay? Make it yourself with this book as your guide.
Author Carol A. Babineau reaches far beyond the expected into wonderfully creative applications of this very accessible medium. She presents 24 projects in five jewelry categories – earrings, bracelets, pendants, pinks, and toggles and clasps. Everything you need to know is here, with thorough step-by-step written instructions and accompanying photographs. The choice is yours: Follow the project as outlines or transform it with your own preferences of color, texture, size, and shape for jewelry that’s truly your own.
You’ll enjoy the ease with which Carol combines metal clay with other art materials – ceramics, enamel, precious metal, gemstones and beads, and sterling silver wire – for beautiful results. She includes a reference section with details on all the supplies and tools you’ll need for each phase of the project to make sure your project goes smoothly and you can concentrate on the creativity!”
