Jewelry Making And Beading For Dummies
I need advice. I want to start
making some simple jewelry - and want a nice website/book or something
that is kind of like jewelry making for dummies.... anybody got any
suggestions?
well not stuff with stones in it (initially) -
silver (wire?) maybe and beads to start with.To get yourself started with
I suggest you pick up a copy of Bead and Button
magazine (I get mine at Border's Bookstore), and try
http://beadwork.about.com/hobbies/beadwork/mbody.htm .
Look under 'stringing projects' for work with the larger
beads, and 'weaving projects' for work with seed beads. You might
also check your phone book under 'beads', and go wandering
through your local bead store for ideas and books. If
you are interested in wire work, I found the book 'Moods in
Wire' decent to follow."
"Let me know if you have any questions when you
get a project in mind, and if you want more bead links.
If you want to wander through the links yourself, I
think the biggest collection of bead links is at
http://www.mcs.net/~simone/beadnet.html ."
