The Book Shelf – Compiled by Hannah Rosner
A list of some books and a little web page for readers who would like to augment their Multimedia & Found Object Jewelry libraries
Steampunk Style Jewelry: Victorian, Fantasy, and Mechanical Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings by Jean (Cox) Campbell
A fun history of the Steampunk Genre and a good inspiration book that will allow you to see the possibilities in items you might otherwise overlook for your jewelry making stash.
The Art of Forgotten Things By Melanie Doerman
I’m primarily a seed beader, so this book really speaks to me. Lovely combinations of seed beads and found objects.
The Jewelry Maker’s Design Book: An Alchemy of Objects By Deryn Mentok
A collection of artistically photographed pieces that may provide you some inspiration and ideas on using multimedia pieces within your work. I expected with the name to get a book with Steampunk designs. However, the book’s main designs uses heavy Christian religious pendants and symbolism within many of the projects. You can view many of the projects for free on her lovely blog: http://somethingsublime.typepad.com/
Pulling Cane from Recycled Glass – Upcycled Glass Beads
Here’s a little webpage and free tutorial I wrote that will give you an introduction on how I made the glass beads that are featured in my article on multimedia jewelry. If this idea speaks to you, however, I’d suggest following up with a much more comprehensive course by Bronwien Heilman (also mentioned in the article)
