Create sophisticated and gorgeous wire and art glass jewellery with 25 innovative designs, as well as technique tips and tricks|Wireworking is one of the hottest trends in jewellery, but all-wire jewellery can be monochromatic and the cost of silver may put all-silver-wire jewellery out of the reach of many. Wire and lampwork artist Kerry Bogert creates her signature colourful wire jewellery by combining sterling silver and coloured wire with glass beads to add a pop of colour in designs from elegant to whimsical.
Although in the past coloured wire has been considered less sophisticated, Totally Twisted shows you how to use coloured wire for a high-end look. In addition to her signature lampwork beads, Kerry uses Czech and other glass beads to show how glass and wire can be combined to great effect.
Accompanying the designs for earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, Totally Twisted includes wirework tips and tricks to make wirework easier and more successful. Learn how to make your own clasps and wire components along with techniques from coiling to wire wrapping all shown in clear step-by-step photography. A master of colour in jewellery, Kerry also shares her design tips for exploring colour in jewellery design, plus gives project variation ideas to show how changing the colours in the same design can completely transform a piece.
