You Will Never Look At Wire Wrapping Or Soldering The Same Way Again!

"You will never look at wire wrapping OR soldering the same way again!" 

Thats my reply when asked to describe my most recent book, Soldered Alchemy! 

Learn how to make this amazing necklace pendant!

This project is entitled Ocean Talisman Pendant and the directions for 

how to make it are on pages 68-71 in Soldered Alchemy.

In my first jewelry instruction book, BoHo Chic Jewelry, I taught you how to solder using

 a soldering iron and showed you how to make your own beautiful jewelry using things

 like old broken china plates, pieces of old lace and leather, buttons, old belts, and other 

salvaged and repurposed items. I enjoyed hearing how people loved learning how to make

their own jewelry from broken china (and if you create a project from one of my books, 

please share your photos on my Facebook page!)

Now we continue our exciting journey into the world of soft soldering with my new book, 

Soldered Alchemy, where I introduce exciting new techniques for both solderers and

wire-wrappers alike! 

You will love the beautiful projects inside!

What exactly is soft soldering? 

Soft soldering is soldering using an electric soldering iron (instead of a torch) and lead-free 

jewelry solder. This jewelry solder has a lower melting point than sterling silver so you 

do NOT need a torch or any kind of open flame to melt it and work with it. You can create

 soldered jewelry at your kitchen table! You do not need a workshop or flammable cylinders 

or open flames. Solder is amazing! And it is SO much fun to work with! Anyone can learn

how to make soldered jewelry. If you havent tried soldering yet, you are missing out!

Whats so special and amazing about this new book, Soldered Alchemy? 

I cant wait to tell you! 

In Soldered Alchemy, I combine wire wrapping with soldering, creating an entirely new

jewelry making technique that has a unique, magical look - a look unlike any other jewelry 

making technique out there. In Soldered Alchemy, I teach you the basics of soldering (for 

first time solderers) and also the basics of wire wrapped jewelry (for first time wire 

wrappers) and then I show you how to combine the two together to create 24 fabulous projects! 

 I teach you to create every single project in the book from start to finish with beautiful full 

color photos and easy to follow, step by step instructions. Even if you are a complete 

beginner, this book contains everything you need to know to learn how to solder like a pro.

 If you are an experienced jewelry maker you will love this book for its new ideas and 

inspiration! Or maybe you are a beader and have never soldered and have never made any 

wire jewelry - wait till you see how you can incorporate some of your favorite beads into 

these unique designs. You will be inspired.

You can use any type of bead for the center of this pendant. I used a teardrop shaped

briolette stone bead. This project is entitled Perfect Storm Pendant and the directions for 

how to make it are on pages 52-55 in Soldered Alchemy.
