Making Fork Jewelry DVD by Maryanne Cherubino
How To Make Fork Bracelets and Necklaces: How To Make Amazingly Unique Fork Jewelry
Although this is a DVD instead of a book, this jewelry making instruction is hard to find and presents an old, but rather unusual way to start learning about jewelry making. Not to mention that this is just great fun, fast and can be lucrative. You can make several gorgeous fork bracelets in a day and sell them upwards of $100 or more depending on your chosen centerpiece stone. This is very unique jewelry indeed and one of the more intriguing jewelry making ideas around today. So, if you're if you're looking to make your own handmade jewelry, this might just be the place for you to start.
One of the things that I like about this DVD is that adding stones to metal jewelry always makes the jewelry pieces just so much more interesting. If you're a metalsmith, you know how tedious it is to set stones in bezels although that's not a problem with fork jewelry! Simply bend the tines to hold your stones in place. Making fork jewelry is a wonderful new option for beginning metalsmiths or beaders looking to improve their skills in a simple and easy way. What a treat to have found this DVD!
I was so delighted when I found this new product, I just had to include it. While it's a DVD instead of a book, this is, again, a rare find and I'll tell you why. I often cruise fine art and craft shows looking for unusual and unique jewelry and in just the past six months I've seen two very distinctive fork jewelry lines. The jewelry was just stunning but I couldn't tell at first that it was made from antique forks. The pieces were just drop dead gorgeous and very elegant. Both of those jewelry lines had incorporated stones rather seamlessly into the fork design. I well remember fork jewelry when it really looked like forks so it's delightful to see this medium become so sophisticated and upscale.
Well, now I've found this DVD that can teach you exactly how to do the same thing in your own style. Even if you're not into fork jewelry, click here to see some rather beautiful work and enjoy the short video on how to make this intriguing jewelry. Fork jewelry is one of the easier types of jewelry to make so if you're a beginner, you might want to check this out. For more information or to purchase simply click here.
Update: Review of The DVD: Making Fork Jewelry
I've just been given the chance to watch the full length DVD of Maryanne Cherubino's Making Fork Jewlery: How To Make Amazingly Unique Fork Bracelets and Necklaces and wanted to fill you all in. This one hour or so DVD takes you through making not one, but TWO fork bracelets and one neckpiece. So if you miss a part in the beginning, Ms. Cherubino repeats the entire process for you again. And then she does it a third time, slightly altering the process to make a neckpiece.
She starts the video off by giving you a review of the simple tools you'll need and why. She also tells you where to get these tools. You'll then get to watch her go thru EVERY step in the process of making jewelry from forks. NO HEAT REQUIRED which is an added treat for beginners in particular. You'll see her hammer, polish, bend and grind off any sharp edges. She'll also show you how to add stones or centerpiece flat beads. She does all this thorougly so that you know exactly what to do and when to do it.
This is a wonderful method for learning how to not only make fork jewelry and your own unique jewelry but to learn some of the essentials of metalsmithing: grinding down metal safely and polishing up your silver. Being able to play off the gorgeous detailed embellishment of existing forks offers added inspiration to boot. In all honesty, this video is so complete that you should be able to jump right out of your chair and start making fork jewelry. The other nice thing about making fork jewelry is that it's very fast compared to making other types of jewelry. From seeing the entire process, start to finish, I'd say you could probably complete of few of these lovely pieces within an hour if not more. All of this is to say that I'd definately recommend this DVD with confidence. Again, if you're intrigued by this method of making jewelry, take a minute to review the quicky short video HERE.
