Elegant Soutache (Amee K Sweet-McNamara)

Description

COMBINE SOUTACHE AND BEAD EMBROIDERY
ON BEAUTIFUL AND ORNATE PIECES OF JEWELLERY

Soutache braids can be combined with beads, cabochons, and other jewelry-oriented materials to create highly textural, wearable-art earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and more. Colorful and flexible, soutache is a great material to work with because it can be easily manipulated (a length of soutache can be made into a spiral, for instance, while strands of it can be stacked). With a wealth of step-by-step photos and instructions as a guide, Amee K. Sweet-McNamara shows intermediate to advanced jewelers the techniques needed to make her dynamic, eye-catching projects, from The Impossible Romance Necklace to The Tuffet Lily Pendant.
