I’ve discovered the joys of simple metalworking. After getting the magnificent Alexander Calder jewelry book
And I just ran across a promising site, Jewelry Lessons, that seems to have simple wireworking tutorials. The site looks perky and fun. Has anyone tried it?
Oh, there’s so much to learn once I get my power and internet connection back. Maybe today!

What lovely cane work! I can’t help but wonder why such talented artists such as Dede don’t have web sites… well, ok, that’s a totally selfish question. I just want to see more eye candy! 😉
I haven’t tried any of those tutorials, but there are some really good wire jewelry books out here.
Sending you lots of good electrical thoughts, Cynthia!

Haven’t tried the Jewelrylessons site, but if Eni Oken is involved, it’s probably quite good. Lisa Niven Kelly’s site, http://www.beaducation.com/ is another one to check out.

The Calder book is really great, and there is a large show of 120 Calder jewelry pieces at the Philadelphia Museum of Art until November 2, then it travels to the Met in NYC, and onto Dublin. I found the scale and inventiveness of the jewelry really exciting.

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for the post. And a great job on the Pingree pics! Feels like a dream. What a great week.
Hope things are getting back to normal for you.
