Written for jewelry artists, especially for those who work in etching or metal clay, this book is applicable to any artist who needs clean black and white images. No need to fit your jewelry to a ready-made texture. Instead, you can develop a surface design to fit your jewelry. Use scores of drawing tools and effects or trace photos or hand drawn designs for further manipulation. Includes instructions for the updated Guilloche extensions. Once you have a design, learn to make your own texture plate or stencil for metal clay—or import your design for etching with a cutting machine like Silhouette—or prepare sheet metal for acid-etching. Hundreds of illustrations complement the step-by-step directions. A comprehensive index makes it easy to find what you seek. 380 pages. Available on Amazon. --- Curated by Maren Hachmann on June 10 2022 12:50 AM
