Making Metal Jewelry by Joanna Gollberg

As I am about to begin another new chapter in my working life of experimenting with aluminium, I need to research different options of connecting the metal other than soldering. I came across Making Metal Jewelry written by Joanna Gollberg, at my local library - ah yet another to add to my wish list.

If you are interested in creating metal jewellery but would like to do it without the need to solder then I'm sure you will find this book of great interest.

The book covers a generous 21 projects with a vast array of pieces with the emphasis on rivets for the main type of cold connections. Most of the projects entail a great deal of sawing, but the end results seem worth the effort. What impresses me the most with the contents of this book is the variety of intriguing pieces, they are far from the everyday run of the mill styled projects. They are very creative and I found them to be very inspirational.
