SARA NAUMANN

Description

IN F O RM A TION

Resin jewellery first started in the US around 6 years ago and has now become a category of its own within the jewellery-making market.

The technique is very simple – you simply mix the two-part resin together and pour into a bezel or pendant. Rings, pendants, brooches, cufflinks, hairpins and bracelets are all easy to make and look incredibly professional when done.|The product Sara uses is ICE Resin, which is the most popular brand of resin, and is widely available through Amazon, Etsy and various other online outlets.|The beauty of this kind of jewellery-making is that it is not only easy and relatively quick to make, but it is also incredibly versatile. You can add numerous items to the resin to achieve different effects. You can place paper in the bezels to act as a ‘background’ to the resin – such as old book paper, map paper, scrapbook paper, photographs and so on. Paper can also be painted, stencilled, or layered with washi tape before being coated with resin.|In addition, you can also immerse various items in the resin before it cures, such as dried flowers and leaves, feathers, shells, beads and charms. You can add materials to the resin to achieve different effects, such as such as glitter, coloured inks, nail polish and virtually anything else you can think of.|The author takes readers through various options for making the jewellery, which is very much open to experimentation and therefore something that people can tailor to their own likes and personality.| The twist with this book is the inclusion of paper - so it is really paper-crafted jewellery. Old papers like maps and sheet music give a vintage vibe, while scrapbooking or origami papers look fresh and contemporary. This book will therefore appeal to the papercrafting and jewellery-making markets.

Key Selling Points Make stylish jewellery in next to no time Minimal tools and materials required Easy, step-by-step techniques to follow

Crochet tatting is a unique form of tatting using a crochet hook. Traditional tatting is worked with shuttles but cro-tat is more similar in nature to needle tatting where the knots or stitches are worked on to the needle and then more thread is pulled through them. The technique itself is very simple and as most other needlework very versatile. With the necesary imagination, you can create the most amazing pieces of needlework and similar handicraft. Back by popular demand - Learn to Cro-Tat includes one size 6 cro-tat hook, howto instructions including color photographs, plus three brand new projects all made using size 10 cotton thread. You will love learning about or getting reacquainted with this beautiful technique.
