Jewellery from natural materials - Beth Legg

Six step-by-step projects for making jewellery from natural materials.
Each chapter includes brief information about the material (history and
qualities), an introduction to the item to be made in the section, and
information about other materials and tools required to work with this
particular material. Pieces made in each chapter will vary, e.g., there
will be a necklace made from grasses, a ring made of stone, a brooch
constructed out of wood, and so on - this way the author can
demonstrate a broad range of techniques. The focus of the book will be
on producing contemporary pieces with a broad appeal, offering readers
the chance to produce their own wearable, interesting jewellery that is
not too challenging, but miles away from the 'tourist tat' or 'feather
on a string' look.

Images will include the work of varied international jewellery makers,
from locations including the UK and US, Germany, Switzerland,
Scandanavia, Australia and New Zealand.
