Metal Crafting Workshop
Metal can be an intimidating material to work with--and not one most crafters will just pick up and try without instruction. In her encouraging introduction to metal crafting, Browning quickly dispels any fear the inexperienced metal crafter may have while showing how working with metal can enhance practically every area of crafting--scrapbooking, collage, altered art, jewelry--and thus giving this title a broader appeal than just to metal crafters. The funky colorful projects on the cover will draw readers in, while the basic explanations of equipment, materials, and techniques will excite and inspire crafters. Almost all the projects use a nonmetal object as a foundation, such as a wood frame or a glass vase, and metal embellishments to create the final piece. Many of the projects require minimal tools and materials to create gifts and accents that have wow effect. The color photographs entice readers to make each project while inspiring them to design their own.Jennifer PalmerCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
