Creating Elemental Jewelry: 20 Projects Conjured from Fire, Water, Earth and Air by Vicky Forrester is one of many excellent jewelry making titles from North Light Books. Vicky has been teaching jewelry students since 1995 and has been in the contemporary jewelry scene for 23 years. The projects in her book range in difficulty and include more advanced techniques to appeal to more experienced jewelry makers.
Divided in three sections–ideas, materials, and techniques–the book uses Earth, Air, Fire, and Water as sources of inspiration. The 14 step-by-step projects “explore how these themes can provide potent undercurrents in conceptual, material, and technical investigation.” The remaining 6 projects will inspire you to experiment and explore many possibilities.
To enter for your chance to win this fabulous title from North Light Books, simply leave a comment. The giveaway ends November 18. Sorry, this giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.
