Come exercise your bravado and explore beaded chain jewelry with me, as I lead you on a wire-working adventure. From a chaotic wire-wrapping approach to precise bead-embellishment techniques that are set into ancient chain patterns, this book has something to satisfy and challenge every level of jewelry artisanship. Ill show you how to set beads and assemble them into various chain designs and jump-ring techniques that connect them in interesting and innovative ways. For those of you curious enough to keep reading, let me tell you how I translated my creativity into the printed page.
Over the past two years, since the publication of my first book, Handcrafting Chain and Bead Jewelry, I have had a chance to travel the United States, leading over seventy jewelry workshops nationwide. This experience allowed me to test my teaching strategies for the craft of beaded chain design, fortifying me with a deeper understanding of how to teach others what I know and to measure student comprehension through in-class feedback to even the most challenging chain and bead techniques.
Along the way, Ive found new approaches to old techniques, like rewriting the rules of wire wrapping by using an electric screwdriver to create Chaos beaded beads. Ive also developed specialized mandrel-tip pliers to precisely set beads onto headpins, which alleviates some beaded chain frustrations. Modern science and technology have been explored to offer a variety of metal finishes, from patina darkening to a tumbled shine. I revisited ancient chain patterns with an eye on setting gemstone beads and developed a variety of unique ways to seamlessly connect metal chain and gemstone setting.
The first two chapters cover wire and bead basics and then continue into the essential chain-making and bead-setting techniques. These basics are developed more in the next two chapters, which feature Chaos and Tornado wire-wrapping techniques that progresses from simple earrings to embellished bracelets. More complex techniques are explored in the later chapters, where gemstone beads are used to embellish a variety of age-old chains, from the Byzantine, Flower, Japanese, Inca Puo, and European to the infamous six-sided Snake chain. I have designed beautiful gallery-quality jewelry projects that utilize each technique; all are presented in photo-illustrated, step-by-step instructions, rendering even the most difficult and complicated techniques understandable and doable.
The appendix outlines the basics of working with Argentium silver, and headpin making. There are illustrated chain configurations at the end of the book, which I think youll refer to often, as well as a resource section that tells you where you can find all the tools, materials, and supplies used in the techniques and projects in this book.
