I thought I would write about some new books I purchased that arrived today and yesterday. I am looking to learn more about working with sterling silver and learn some metal smithing techniques especially soldering. I got Tim Mc Creight's book "PMC Techniques, Hot & Cold Connections" I have a had a browse through and it looks really good and informative. I also bought Jinks McGrath's book "Jewellery Making- A Complete Guide For Beginners" and also Joanna Gollberg's book "The Art & Craft of Making Jewellery" The latter I think is not really for the beginner, well it looked a little complicated for me anyway but it is nice to browse through and look at the gallery photo's. Jink's book I think will be a good start as it is more for the beginner after flicking through I am looking forward to having a more in depth read and giving a couple of the projects a go.
