The eBook includes:
1. Wire Jewelry Project #1:
Cerulean Falls, design by Danielle Fox. Want to learn how to make wire necklaces? This is the project to start with! Marked by a mixture of bluish gray stones cascading down a piece of chain this wire necklace ends in a pretty flower pendant. And it's as simple as it is stylish—just form six wrapped loops and open and close four jump rings—that's it! If this is your first wire jewelry project, no need to worry. The accompanying wire necklace instructions walk you through every step of the way.
2. Wire Jewelry Project #2:
In Full Bloom, design by Ricky Talmage. Warning—this is one of those wire necklaces that will beg people to stop and stare! Aquamarine and pearl pays tribute to summer's lingering blooms. Creative wire jewelry has a certain way of lifting your spirits and bringing summer warmth all year round. So what are you waiting for?
3. Wire Jewelry Project #3
Gypsy Wire Bangle, design by Janice Berkebile. This wire bracelet was made using a figure-eight technique borrowed from coiled-wire basketry and applied to large-gauge wire. The base wire is wrapped with coils of fine silver wire and loops are formed along the way from which a multitude of pearls and crystals dangle for movement and sparkle. So beautiful, you'll be making wire bracelets for everyone in your life.
4. Wire Jewelry Project #4
Dancing Spirals, design by Heather Trundle. Simple triple spirals give a dainty touch to your ears. These down-to-earth wire earrings have a wonderful surprise...they dance! As you stand still, the earrings line up in a stack of spirals. When you move, the spirals dance around! Simple to create and best of all-the longest piece of wire you'll use is only 2". If you've been wanting to learn how to make wire earrings, just grab some of that scrap wire that is lying around your beading table and get started.
5. Wire Jewelry Project #5
Freeform Wire Earrings, design by Leeza Khoury. Two versions of beautiful framed wire earrings with stones and crystals. Leeza designed these wire earrings while working at Turquoise-StringBeads in Fall River, Mass. The owner of the store, Nancy Valentine, had some gorgeous semi-precious beads and asked Leeza to use them to create funky freeform wire earrings. These are hot sellers at their store and will be a popular addition to your wire jewelry collection!
6. Wire Jewelry Project #6
