Title: Amulets and Talismans: Simple Techniques for Creating Meaningful Jewelry
Author: Robert Dancik
Publication Date: Aug 4, 2009
Description: The things you collect – the ticket stubs, the coins, the pieces of shell from a beach – hold meaning and significance, reminding you not only where you’ve been, but also where you’re capable of going. Making these items into wearable pieces of art – amplifying their power to become amulets and talismans – is a rewarding experience that’s easy to do.
Working with the most basic of tools, you will learn cold-connection jewelry techniques to expand your creative process. In addition to basics like creating jump rings and using a file, you will also:
- Make your own hook and latch clasps
- Cut windows from sheets of metal
- Inlay designs into polymer clay
- Incorporate concrete into your work
- Achieve patinas with heat
- Journal your thoughts onto faux bone
- Turn paper pulp into realistic rocks
- Create “time capsule” beads from Plexiglas
- And much, much more!
Discover the rewards of making your own amulets and talismans by learning new techniques to drive your creativity in an entirely new direction.
