I'm currently in South America, hiking the Patagonia Mountains for the next five months, until the next book comes to print. I will do my best to answer all emails, but any delay in due to my lack of WiFi access, thank you in advance for your patience. Follow my backpacking adventure through my facebook page.

The upcoming 5th book is in progress at Random House, scheduled to be released in September 2013. I am pre-selling signed copies at a 20% discount, offering free shipping in the USA, a 2-for-1 special for international clients, and receive a free PDF download of the 3-ring Propeller Earrings tutorial.

Spiderchain
is now selling jewelry kits from the book series.
Tutorials are now translated into German, Japanese, & Spanish.
Check out the new Tools page & Supplies page additions.



Many thanks, Scott David Plumlee.

Last but not least, the design and constant maintenance of this freaking website, - - sigh - -


My personal quest of chain development started in 1998 when I utilizing the geometry of Pi (3.14) to quantify the Byzantine chain jump ring size. With a deeper insight and appreciation, I began to develop linear, geometric, radial, and organic chain pattern jewelry designs, many of which are complimented with bead embellishments.

Over the past decade I have led hundreds of beaded chain workshops through public and private educational institutions. The accumulation of these experiences has lead to the publishing of a five book series on handcrafting chain and bead jewelry, three DVD videos through Interweave Press, hundreds of PDF handouts, and jewelry kit line with Spiderchain.


Change is INEVITABLE - Growth is OPTIONAL

You cant stop the WAVES - but you can learn to SURF
