Greeting from Taos,

The late summer has brought cooling rains and relief from the heat as yellow cactus flowers bloom alongside mountain trails.

Interweave Press just released the third DVD video, with a YouTube video preview. My 4th book released in March from Author House self-publishing company, and the 3rd book released in November with excellent book reviews. I am now offering a variety of base metal jewelry kits from the projects within my first four books, and just released a dozen NEW Kits with several silver and gemstone pendant projects. Enjoy.

Many thanks, Scott David Plumlee.

My personal quest of chain development started fifteen years ago by utilizing the geometry of Pi to quantify the ancient Byzantine chain. With a deeper insight and appreciation, I began to develop linear, geometric, radial, and organic derivative chain designs to be complimented with or without bead embellishments. To date I have handcrafted 722 jewelry pieces, each saluted with a three-digit-number index ring, originating over 100 unique chain designs. Over the past nine years I have led a variety of beaded chain workshops through public and private educational institutions. The accumulation of these experiences has lead to the publishing of the first, second, and third book in a series on handcrafting chain jewelry, printed by Watson-Guptill Publications (Random House) in NYC. I am now working to self-publish my fourth, fifth, and sixth books.
