Wire and Bead Celtic Jewellery: 35 Quick and Stylish Projects

Description

Linda Jones brings you 35 fantastic step-by-step jewellery projects inspired by the art of the ancient Celts. With only some beads, a spool of wire, and a few simple tools, you can begin straight away as Linda tells you everything you need to know to create beautiful twisted wire and bead pieces. With chokers, brooches, delicate chains, rings, earrings, bangles, and more, Wire & Bead Celtic Jewellery offers something for everyone. Every piece is inspired by Celtic design, from a Celtic harp brooch and Lindisfarne choker to lariats and bracelets echoing the forms of naimals and elements of nature. The projects are set up like recipes with materials lists and step-by-step instructions so they are perfect for beginners, but her unique designs will inspire those already experienced in the craft.

Linda Jones trained as a jeweller at London's Metropolitan University. Five years ago she began teaching wire jewellery, setting up her own local creative wire jewellery workshops. She exhibits widely in shops and galleries and at exhibitions. Her previous books include Creating Wire and Beaded Jewellery (Cico, 2004) and Making Colourful Wire & Beaded Jewellery (Cico, 2006).
