PROJECTS & TECHNIQUES FOR METAL CLAY JEWELRY:
A Creative Approach to Making 13 Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, Findings & More
By Tamara Honaman
9780764369605
Available wherever books are soldĀ
or order here (amazon affiliate link).
Creating the projects and writing this book was such a pleasure. It gave me the best reason to lose myself in “my work.” It also allowed me the freedom to create projects and designs that spoke to me, with the hope they speak to you, too.
The projects are outlined as a place to start and then progress in complexity to provide challenges while supporting you for success. The finished pieces are designed to entice and empower you whether metal clay is new to you, if you have tried the material but didn’t find the success you were hoping for, or to call you back to metal clay if you tried it and moved on to other things.Ā
Upcoming Events

So thankful for travel mercies today. Wishing everyone else safe travels and just as warm a welcome as I received.
@remington_remy_rem_boxer gave me his best welcome song and all the love anyone could ask for.

A peek inside the amazing 4 days working behind the scenes teaching metal clay workshops.
Thank you @clayrevolution for the invitation and all you did to welcome me into the team this week.
Thank you @unsaneart for your endless offers to make sure things rolled along smoothly.
Thank you to all who chose to spend time with me. It was a true pleasure to work with you and help you. I look forward to seeing you all again another time.

The day starts with blue skies and palm trees (these are in the @starbucks parking lot!).
And Iāll say it again. The people make this trip extra special.
Combing through slabs and cool things at @minnerscoop is also pretty fabulous. Especially with clear skies and sunshine.
While at this very unique event, we met and talked with so many mines and cutters, hearing their stories and learning new-to-me things about rocks - so fascinating!
Slipped in a picture from last night, too. As the after-hours fun is also part of the Tucson experience. Thank you @brendaschweder__found and @shaynajewelry for making the time. And for the laughs!
The saguaro cactus always make my heart skip a beat. They are like the old guard. Sentrys. Gentle giants. And so many other words. You have to experience them in person to feel their energy. Thereās nothing like them (for me) except the ocean. But thatās kinda far away from @tucsongemshows.
If youāve never been - I hope you have the chance to experience some of these things in the future.

Tucson days!
Day one for me and @juliesanforddesigns
we kicked it off with the first day of @agta_gems and @gjxtucson - then we popped over to @pueblogemshow
Long check in lines for AGTA badges but the team worked so efficiently and made short work of check in. So many people! So wonderful.
GJX lines were not as long but the show floor was just as busy. And so many vendors to visit!
Pueblo is a favorite and it was so good to see @fretzwilliam and @aniejooltool (she took the pics today)
More to see and do.
And sunshine and warm temps to enjoy! āļø

Mother Nature at her finest (finest when not sunny and 80-degrees!)
I have packing and organizing and making to be done in the studio preparation for the upcoming Tucson adventure.
I saved it up for this weekend.
Then I saw the weather. Which is beautiful.
But only the beginning of whatās to come.
Shifting plans to take care of other things. At home.
Computer work - like finessing and printing instructions for my @clayrevolution Tucson workshops, taking in some of @therealtonyadavidson soldering workshop (Iām so behind!), crocheting a new project using @knitcollage yarns (check out the #corinnecardi), making a pot of soup! (Thankfully we have all we need right here), and of course - FOOTBALL!
Go @49ers
Whatever the weather and your plans - have an amazing day! āØ
