Hello my friends, I hope the last few days of summer weather are treating you well; wherever you find yourself.
Interweave Press released the third DVD video, Bead&Button magazine featured the Serrated Byzantine Bracelet,
and I am now offering some of my favorite jewelry design pendants as silver and gemstone instructional kits.

 

I was invited by Interweave Press to do a film shoot in April, the first two videos released in June with excellent reviews (see below), and now the third DVD video Make Chain Maille Jewelry, Vol. 2 has just released as a continuation of the first Chain Maille video.

These educational video is available for purchase as a DVD disc, a standard-quality downloadable file (854 x 480 pixels), and a HD-quality downloadable file (1920 x 1080 pixels). I'm excited about this educational platform, as it allows the viewer to see the jewelry project come to completion from my point of view; brought to you by a very dedicated cameraman standing on a ladder shooting over my shoulder - thanks Garrett.

I am super-jazzed to have the Serrated Byzantine Bracelet featured in the October issue of Bead&Button magazine article entitled "Byzantine balanced". The Serrated Byzantine bracelet and matching earrings design were originally published in the 3rd book (page 54).

I am now offering two different instructional jewelry kits for the Serrated Byzantine Bracelet as a base-metal beginner kit in 18- and 14-gauge bronze jump rings, as well as a finer sized mixed-metal advanced kit in 19-gauge silver and 15-gauge bronze jump rings; see below.





 

I'm now offering a dozen NEW Kits of my favorite jewelry designs, beyond the basic base-metal brass-n-glass kits, including many advanced pendant designs with silver rings and gemstone beads.

Starting with an educational kit to learn the illusive Jens Pind chain pattern with tri-metal rings, assembled with gold-plated copper rings, silver-plated copper rings, and clear-coated copper rings. Then, try an all-bronze Jens Pind Bracelet kit to test your chain pattern skills and shorten your learning curve.

Next are several mixed-metal kits that have been featured in magazine articles, such as the Serrated Byzantine Bracelet (upper-left) with 19-gauge silver and copper rings, and 15-gauge bronze connector rings to make the exact jewelry project illustrated in the magazine.

Finally a selection of the most popularly requested custom jewelry kits from my readership in silver and gemstone. The Incan Triangle Pendant (lower-left) includes three sizes of sterling silver jump rings and two sizes of red carnelian beads - simply stunning.



The good folks at Rio Grande Jewelry Blog recently did a two-part book excerpt from the 4th Book, Chain and Bead Jewelry Soldering Connections.

The first part illustrates the hot-torch technique of Making Headpins from Argentium Silver Wire, followed by the pliers-assemble step-by-step of Making Beaded Triad Earrings.

 

Debbie DiJusto, author of the Craftymoose blog has recently posted a glowing review of the first DVD video title on her colorful blog; so glowing that I'm blushing. It is definitelty worth a read, and please feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the page - you just may win the Romanov Earrings kit giveaway.
.

I'm humbled to announce that the September workshops in Austin were cancelled due to low enrollment, yet being optimists, we are planning to reschedule for March or April of 2012 - hope to see you threre.

Take care my friends, may your path be paved in gold and enlightened by bliss, sdp.
