Summary

The 24 impressive-looking woven projects in this collection expand the creative boundaries of jewelry making. Basketry and beading techniques produce invitingly tactile patterns and visually striking effects, many that can't be achieved through traditional metalwork. These techniques show off the varied materials, from reed and ash to waxed linen and embriodery thread, that are such an integral part of the jewelry. A Quiver-Shaped Necklace, Twined Spokes Bracelet, Driftwood Necklace, Coiled Linen Earrings, and Pine Needle Brooch are just a small selection of the wearable works of art that you can craft.
