Book, "Metal Jewelry 101" by Linda Peterson. Sold individually.

Creating fashionable metal and wire jewelry is easy, enjoyable and requires only inexpensive tools. In no time at all you will find yourself working with aluminum, copper and pewter (tin-based alloy) to fashion accessories that coordinate beautifully with your wardrobe.

As you become more familiar with the metals, advance to creating faux surfaces like enamel. These designs are perfect focal pieces for existing beaded necklaces you may already have in your jewelry collection. Why not give an old piece of jewelry a new, trendy look? Watch the discount jewelry stores for inexpensive beaded necklaces suitable for embellishing with your unique style.

Once your creative juices are really flowing, try working with rubber stamps. You can't make a mistake! Use the designs in this book as a jump start. Remember this style isn't supposed to be perfect. Consider using found objects to give your design that one-of-a-kind natural look.

So jump in, create, have fun and play! Be confident that your friends and family will admire your jewelry!
