How to make homemade metal jewelry?
-
I want to make my own homemade jewelry but I have no idea what I need and what materials to use. I am not talking about simple arts and crafts and simple silly stuff. I'm talking about real serious metal jewelry lie the girl on this site, she makes her own jewelry. http://rachelpfeffer.squarespace.com/about-rachel/

Answer:
There are so many good books and sites you can learn from. Rachel's work is pretty simple, just study it and make some sketches as to what you want to make. Look at other jewelry artists as on Etsy.com and get some great inspiration. Great site for massive info including tutorials: 1. http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/btools.htm 2. http://jewelrymaking.about.com/od/easymetaljewelryprojects/Easy_Metal_Jewelry_Projects.htm 3. http://www.jewelrylessons.com/ 4. http://www.ehow.com/how_5906702_make-homemade-metal-jewelry.html 5. http://www.beadfest.com/stepbystep/ Places to purchase metal and tools: Metalliferous.com, Rio Grande, Indian Jewelers, National Supply - you may even be able to buy used tools which are usually still in good shape.

Doesn't look like she is doing anything very complicated most of the work seems to be basic soldering and little blow torch work. A skill set that could be a result of a good high school metal shop program. a community college course, or just a quick seminar somewhere. I'd suggest taking a course in beginning metal work. Which should acquaint you with the basics. How to use the tools,some basic ways to get different finishes. Then start off with pewter and copper based alloys. They are cheap and easy to work. Then of course you'll need to write a song.

I agree on taking a course - do a Search Nearby on Google of your address for 'craft guild' to see what classes are available. These days Precious Metal Clay makes life a lot easier but it probably wouldn't hurt to look at some of the older techniques summarized at the beginning of the pages at these links on my page http://www.mikegigi.com/metalctr.htm By the way, that cute little torch with the bright blue flame is part of a rig that costs about $300
