Quadrille skeuomorphism of an organization of talismans

Amulets and Talismans : Simple Techniques for Creating Meaningful

by Robert Dancik Author and Tonia Davenport Editor

This book is for people who want to make jewelry with metaphysical meaning. Mementos from life experiences — ticket stubs, coins, that cool rock — are memories that can be solidified into jewelry, amplified to the level of amulets and talismans. Working with basic tools (no need for a jeweler’s tools here, necessarily) this book teaches what are called cold connection jewelry techniques to make your wearable, magical art. Some of the things this book will teach are things like making jump rings, windowing sheets of metal, making hooks and clasps, basic inlaying, making patinas, to name a few to start your merry jewelry making.
