Best Ebook Handcrafted Metal Findings: 30 Creative Jewelry Components, by Denise Peck, Jane Dickerson
Metalsmiths reveal new findings in jewelry trends!
Following up their best-selling book Handcrafted Wire Findings, Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson give jewelers more techniques, more (and different) findings, and more inspiration. Handcrafted Metal Findings features 30 step-by-step tutorials for metal findings that require only basic jewelry-making skills. Working with precut metal blanks and thin-gauge sheet metal, Denise, Jane, and several contributing artists have created great-looking findingsùhead pins, bead caps, bails, charms, connectors, cones, and more--all without a lot of effort.
All the metalwork can be done with basic tools--no saws, no flex shaft, no oxy/acetylene tanks. Metal pieces are hole-punched, dapped, hammered, textured with stamps and tools, colorized, oxidized, and patinated. Construction techniques include simple soldering with a micro torch and cold connections such as riveting. Finished gallery pieces that incorporate some of the findings provide additional inspiration in this inspiration- and information-packed book.

Review
"As my considerable stash began to quickly dwindle, Denise and Jane's first book came out and I devoured it. Now, they add 30 more excellent tutorials to make your design work so satisfying. To say, 'Oh that? I made it myself.' At the back of the book are 34 pages with detailed photos, instructions, and templates on how to do all the metal work necessary to make every project. This is actually my favorite part of the book, as it's easy to follow, visually appealing, and gives you lots of information which can take you in so many creative directions. Most times, I skip these sections of books, but this book is an exception." --Pretty Things
"They use both sheet metal and wire to craft 30 different findings. And almost as a bonus, there is a step-by-step project included to showcase each finding being used." --Beading Arts
"If going totally handmade is your thing, then this book might just rev up your creativity." --Beading Gem

This is a follow up to Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson's first book - Handcrafted Wire Findings - another awesome find! This book features 30 different techniques/components, and each one, in my opinion, lends itself to design variations making them not only handcrafted, but truly one-of-a-kind. In addition to the author's own designs, the book features techniques from other stellar artists.This is truly a book tailored to TECHNIQUE - not a "show me a necklace with beads and how to make it" type book. Not that I have anything against those type of books, but it is the technique I want to learn! So appreciative of this fact!In addition to the thorough step-by-step instructions with photos, sources are listed for each design element, and the back of the book includes detailed instructions that, if one was a novice to metal work, would prove very helpful! In my opinion, the designs/techniques range from fairly easy (great for a novice) to more challenging.This is a book for handmade artists - those who are tired of sourcing mass produced components - bead caps, bezels, head pins (and not just plain head pins!), ear studs, connectors, etc. I have already completed several designs utilizing the techniques offered in this book, and I am itching to make more!

By Jean Baldridge Yates The uber fun, wonderfully insightful and creative jewelry designers, Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson, have teamed up once again to delight us with a great new book, Handcrafted Metal Findings, 30 Creative Jewelry Components. I love their modern, hip, artisan jewelry style, which employs all kinds of marvelous metals! This sense of style is ever apparent in this, their latest offering. However it should be noted that these great instructors always work referencing classic design in their jewelry pieces.They base their creations on solid techniques. Handcrafted Metal Findings will not lose its appeal at any point in the near future or going forward. You will continue to learn and create from it for years to come.Get ready to love making your own jewelry findings!Findings are the finishing touch and as such are one of the most fantastic ways to personalize artisan jewelry. Handcrafted Metal Findings has the reader covered by offering a multitude of components in every style you could possibly imagine to add to and dress up your own jewelry! Although it does not primarily focus on finished jewelry projects, you get plenty of photos and available sources, if you are inspired to make a complete project you have fallen in love with, from this book. The reader will find that often the contributors show their own finished designs, as well as providing great instructions on how to use their techniques for their specialty components. It is such fun that a number of other wonderful metal crafting designers have been invited by the authors to share their talents and expertise as well.There are projects on all sorts of bails, bead caps, clasps, ear wires, links, charms, head pins, tube beads, and more. I couldn't resist any of them. This book will open up all sorts of possibilities to anyone who tries these projects. They really will make your jewelry sing!As the authors say in their introduction,"...Why design a beautiful custom piece and then finish it with a commercial finding?" A good question! Once you see what you will be learning to make, it is doubtful that you'll ever choose to resort to store bought findings on any sort of regular basis again! There are thirty projects in Handcrafted Metal Findings to get your groove on. Once you understand how to make them (and the instructions and photos are exciting and wonderfully clear), it will be ready, set, GO!The reader will get such great understanding of how to make findings that he or she will be able to riff easily off of these glorious projects.I want to commend the authors for their comprehensive, mindful sections at the back of the book. These sections clearly explain essential techniques and working with fire. There is also an excellent metals glossary and tools glossary. Plus you will find full sized templates to help you out with some of the projects. Nothing is left to chance in this thoughtful book. I really like how Handcrafted Metal Findings is set up. Unlike many design books, you have the party (the stunning projects) in the front, and the business (how to refine your techniques, and what you will need for your own studio) in the back.One of the projects I loved was titled, "Sugar Skull Clasp", by Jane Dickerson. Made of silver, copper and brass, this sweet clasp (no it is not scary in the least!) is completely charming. This clasp is such a winner that I would design a whole project around it, showcasing it. It has decorative hammering on the silver sugar skull which you create using a template from the back of the book, and your mallet and bench block. It has the cutest, prettiest decorative copper flowers which you also learn to make. They are adorably riveted to the clasp with centered brass micro nuts. The flowers and the brass nuts make the eyes of the sugar skull. The colors and appeal of this clasp are exceptional. If you are anything like me, you will jump at the chance to make this! As you learn from it, you will also find that it teaches you a ton of skills to add to your repertoire.Double win on that, as is the case with any project you try from Handcrafted Metal Findings! Jane also teaches a project later in the book, the "Oval Duo Connector", which appeals to me especially as it uses recycled plastic bottles to add striking, vivid color to the ovals made of riveted, hammered sterling sheet.I would never have thought that recycled bottles could add so much to the look of a finding. These connectors are positively elegant.If you like a little romance in your jewelry, try contributor Cindy Wimmer's "Rosette Link and Hook Clasp". This spiraled wire design transitions easily into a finding for earrings Cindy made as well. The earrings are featured in a photo accompanying this wonderful project. You will get all sorts of inspiration from the project and the earrings too!Do you like things simple, as in simply beautiful? Check out Denise Peck's "Simplest Toggle" which features a patterned wire toggle bar you make. It is a marvelous juxtaposition to the brilliance of the plain silver circle toggle. This is another example of how this book offers modern takes on findings which will always remain in fashion, eternally classic yet so new at one and the same time. Another marvelous project by Denise is her "Meander Ear Wires". These are so striking in style that you could wear them without any additional embellishment. However, they are looped at the bottom so you can attach any bead of your choosing if you wish. These ear wires are so basic, and yet so pretty, that it will be hard not to want to make them over and over, to feature your favorite gemstones or charms. Need a charm? Find one in this book, either by using beads with a bead cap project, such as "Loophole Bead Caps" by Kerry Bogert, or go to town with the sweet mini charms designed by Denise, the "Silver Berry Charms" which each have a tiny pattern hammered on the front and look great clustered. You will like the inspiration photos which accompanies this project and shows the charms almost spinning as they light up and accent an ethnic style beige and black bead necklace made by Denise.One more project I was entranced with is the "Dreamy Discs Clasp" by Jane Dickerson. Her use of color in this project is once again, outstanding. It is a luscious orange and purple accented with shining silver. This fascinating wrapped leather cording clasp also makes a wonderful focal, serving double duty suspended from chain. It will be something you will love wearing any time you are feeling ebullient, cheery and stylish. Lampwork rondelles and a lampwork disc make friends with the purple ultra-microfiber suede cording and the silver so naturally and prettily. This could be your starting off point for numerous variations inspired by your own love of color.Kiersten Giles offers a copper sheet project which is really great as well. It is called the "Textured Bead Tabs". These decorative copper tabs look almost chased. They are flowery and pretty. They are designed to work with waxed lined cording, adding a custom look. They are perfect for cotton cording and hemp as well. I have never seen anything as eloquent for finishing a woven cord bracelet or necklace as these. There is a photo of a project Kiersten made using these as part of necklace she designed to further delight you.Handcrafted Metal Findings is just the nudge you may need to encourage you to go all out with your own components and findings! I loved every refreshing and wonderfully original design which I discovered in this fabulous book. Sometimes its the little things that really get your creativity going full steam. Great for any designer's home studio and reference library, Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson have written a terrific, endlessly fascinating book!

I've not seen this much information on how to make findings in one place - until now. I'm very happy I bought it.
