I\u2019m often asked for the titles of jewelry making books that I have found particularly valuable. For those of you who are interested in making jewelry or learning more about how jewelry is constructed, here are the names of a few that I often refer to. <\/p>\n
I have some other interesting titles (available from Amazon.com) posted on my www.squidoo.com\/needlewoven_necklaces site. <\/p>\n
The Complete Metalsmith \u2013 Tim McCreight. This is a terrific general reference book.<\/p>\n
Fabulous Woven Jewelry \u2013 Mary Hettmansperger. There is a lot of varied material in this book and I have gotten a lot of ideas to my own designs. (Mary Hettmansperg has another book coming out soon \u2013 I’m taking a couple of seminars with her in June at Convergence 2008 in Tampa, FL) <\/p>\n
Fiber and Bead Jewelry \u2013 Helen Banes. This book explains the techniques involved in tapestry needleweaving along with lots of lucious photos and also gives you patterns to follow.<\/p>\n
Contemporary American Jewelry Design \u2013 Ettagale Blauer <\/p>\n
Textile Techniques In Metal \u2013 Arline Fisch. I love this book. There are a number of metal techniques covered with lots of photos.<\/p>\n
Jewelry Making Step by Step \u2013 E. E. Joachim. This is a book I first used years ago for basic silversmithing. It still is filled with practical information.<\/p>\n
Fiber-Wire Beads and Jewelry \u2013 Lisa Vann. This book contains innteresting techniques and examples.<\/p>\n
