Hottest Trend in Jewelry … Metals!

From Design Originals, Metal Jewelry 101
A book about using WireMesh®, ArtEmboss®, and WireForm® products
By Linda Peterson (with demonstration booth #4334)

As designer/author Linda Peterson says, “METAL JEWELRY 101 is technique driven… which means you can take the techniques you learn and apply them to your own designs or mix ‘n match them with another design in the book!” It begins with easy easy-to-follow tips and techniques for using a variety of pewter, copper and aluminum products for jewelry findings, pendants, bracelets and more. Many of the mixed metal products Linda relies on are made by AMACO, including ArtEmboss® metal embossing sheets, WireMesh®, WireForm®, and WireRods®.

For avid rubberstampers, there are great tips for embossing metals with signature designs to create jewelry with favorite stamping techniques. “Even Friendly Plastic® can be combined with metals to create the look of dichroic glass,” says author/designer Linda Peterson.

No matter what kind of jewelry you like to make now, you’ll expand your ability to create with mixed metal products and tips. Retailers will find that mixed metals can expand jewelry making programs in stores… because metals are the hottest trend for jewelry design for 2008!
