Handcrafting Chain And Bead Jewelry by Scott David Plumlee $14.95 With this 128-page full-color book in hand, you will be able to create stunning chain and bead jewelry using simple hand tools – no hot torch or power tools are needed! From the classic Byzantine pattern to never-before-seen original chain designs, this book provides everything you need to know to create beautiful beaded chain jewelry from start to finish. Beaders and wireworkers will be en-chain-ted by the chance to make their own chains • Classical chain designs in silver, copper, and brass • Entire chain-making process is explained and illustrated step-by-step • One of a kind! Handcrafting Chain and Bead Jewelry shows how to create beautiful, dimensional silver, copper, and brass chains using simple tools. The main style is based on the elegant, classical Byzantine pattern, and uses the Golden Ratio to determine the circumference of a chain’s interlocking rings based on the thickness of the wire. Illustrated step-by-step directions show how to calculate the circumference of the rings, how to wrap wire into coils, how to cut, and finally, how to assemble the chain. Starting from the basic Byzantine, new chain makers can then progress to increasingly Byzantine variations, including linear, knot, crown, and combination chains. Incorporating beads and charms offers endless possibilities for crafters who will soon, surely, be locked up in chains! About the Author- Scott David Plumlee, an authority on ancient chain designs, has created more than sixty unique chain designs based on mathematical formulas. His chain-making workshops have been presented throughout Washington State. He now lives in Manhattan, Kansas. Paperback: 128 pages |
