Book Reviews of Simple Soldered Jewelry & Accessories: A Crafter's Guide to Fashioning Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets & More

Book Review: Great Book with Loads of Information
Summary: 5 Stars

Simple Soldered Jewelry & Accessories is a fantastic book. I bought it, unsure of what to expect. I wanted to get into soldering so much that I had already bought the equipment to do it - but fear was holding me back. After reading Bluhm's book, the fear disappeared...and was replaced by a sense of "I can do this!". It was a great feeling - and only achieved after reading the in-depth text Bluhm provides. The pictures are tight and provide explanations and examples that just can't be explained with words.

If you are at all interested in soldering, GET THIS BOOK. It will pay for itself time and time again. I don't take classes due to the astronomical fees most of them charge, and the lengthy distance I would normally have to travel. I feel this book makes up for not attending a soldering class - there is enough good, solid information in this book that you will not only be able to solder after soaking it in, but you will be comfortable soldering. Yes, soldering takes practice (I'm learning), but it's a whole lot easier to do if you have knowledge on your side...and thankfully, Bluhm freely shares her knowledge in this book.

Summary of Simple Soldered Jewelry & Accessories: A Crafter's Guide to Fashioning Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets & More

Soldering has moved out of the garage shop and taken the crafting world by storm! It's a fabulous, easy-to-learn technique for creating jewelry, decorative accents, and keepsakes, and this comprehensive guide takes beginners step-by-step through all the basics: glass cutting, working with copper foil, and the actual soldering itself. Easy-to-trace patterns with glass cutting lines are included, along with vintage photos and decorative paper. Make a mini scrapbook fold-out frame to hold cherished photos and mementos. Learn to work with curved surfaces on projects such as a playful Turquoise Swirl Cuff. A comprehensive techniques section helps novices learn the basics and trouble-shoot potential problems as they work.
