The Results of My Silver and Woven Necklace



I've finished my necklace with the 'Cambodian Culture' theme, and have named it 'River Flow'.








Hopefully I have achieved the water feel with the colour selection, which was my main focus.


I'm currently adding all my latest pieces to my website and should have it ready to view by this evening.

Creative Silver Chains by Chantal Lise Saunders

Creative Silver Chains is another book in my collection which I would thoroughly recommend. It begins with an overview of how-to's for soldering, drilling, ring forming, etc. with a wonderful collection of unique jewellery pieces on each and every page. It covers a section on design and is complete with a beautiful gallery of amazing creations. This book gives clear instructions on 20 projects in sterling silver for a necklace or bracelet and all include instructions for matching earrings. If you enjoy soldering and forming you will love this book. It covers some very unique links that I haven't found in other books.
