Connie Fox - Design Fundamentals for Wire Jewelry

Welcome to the fascinating world of jewelry design! More than any other aspect of jewelry making, I love the design process. Discovering a way to "make over" a piece of jewelry that has a design flaw is better than viewing a good movie and munching on popcorn. The principles laid out in this CD are what I call the "twelve basic elements of design". Exercises are included with each design principle. I recommend that you proceed through all of the exercises as you design and create one or more pieces of jewelry. Oh yes, and do have a jolly good time! --Connie Fox

I was not sure what to expect when I received Connie Fox's new design CD. I had already been told that it did not include any tutorials or patterns. So what would be on it? Something that you probably have never seen in a jewelry making book or CD. Connie teaches you how to DESIGN your wire jewelry. She takes you step by step through the process of design, from finding out what your "style" is, to balance and repetition.

Topics covered:
Your Style
Using a Journal
Design Theme
Shape and More
Materials
Texture
Color and Emotion
Color and Science
Pos and Neg Space
Balance
Repetition
Movement

I love the CD! Connie has created a CD full of inspiration and ideas. If you are looking for inspiration for a new piece, simply grab a cup of your favorite beverage and flip through Connie Fox's CD "Design Fundamentals for Wire Jewelry" Your imagination will soar!
