"Inspired by classic gothic literature and movies, Harriet Smith's jewellery fuses dark beauty and humorous horror imagery and here she shows you how to craft 35 of her distinct and striking pieces. Each project is suitable for beginners to jewellery-making with all the techniques clearly explained. The materials and tools used can be found in many craft, DIY and homeware stores or located on the internet and there are often alternatives to be found in the kitchen tool cupboard or an old toy chest so there is nothing to stop you making them in the comfort of your own home. Make the skull earrings, bones bracelet and dead flower corsage from the Fabrics chapter; in Beading and Metalwork there's a Gothic cross necklace, Sweeney Todd earrings and a barbed wire bracelet; and you can have fun with the designs in the Acrylics chapter including a bat brooch and bottle-top cameo bracelet. Harriet's gothic jewellery isn't just for Goths her pieces have wide-ranging appeal, are easy to make and fun to wear, and make a truly unique gift. Gothic style has always been a key trend in fashion think Alexander McQueen's iconic skull designs. Vampires and therefore gothic style continue to be immensely popular. Harriet Smith is an up-and-coming graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design."--From publisher.
