Good news this week for anyone itching to stock up on new jewelry-making projects! You have 5 days left to get 30% off when you buy any of the individual downloadable projects from our Yahoo! store. That means you can get PDFs of individual articles from past issues of Art Jewelry for $2.75! So, let's say you weren't a subscriber in 2004, but you really want to know how to make Anne Mitchell's Byzantine and Queen's link chain mail necklace, right. All you have to do is visit our Projects For Sale tab at www.artjewelrymag.com or Art Jewelry's Yahoo! store to buy a downloadable PDF of that project.
You can search Art Jewelry's projects by type (necklace, brooch, earrings, bracelet, etc.), by medium (metals, metal clay, chain mail, enamel, etc.), by article type (project, technique, reference), or by magazine issue. Not sure what you're in the mood for? Try browsing through Art Jewelry's Yahoo! store instead--it's organized by project type (necklace, brooch, earrings, bracelet, etc.).
Of course, you can't pass up the free stuff: Until September 25, 2009, you can download the metals technique article "D Battery + Saltwater = Cheap, Acid-Free Etching" by Ron Pascho from the November 2008 issue of Art Jewelry for free. For another great free tutorial, check out Associate Editor Addie Kidd's technique article on how to drill a hole through glass. It's a handy thing to know how to do, especially if you're interested in incorporating sea glass into your jewelry, like Monica Branstrom did in her project "Genuine Sea Glass: How to Bezel-Set an Irregular Stone," page 64, in the September 2009 issue of Art Jewelry.
Have fun with all this jewelry making! And send us pictures so we can see what you've been up to. (Subscribers, don't forget that you can upload images of your work to our Subscriber Gallery.)
