Beading…or wire and chain jewelry making question… please help?


i am trying to make a bead and chain overdress for a senior thesis fashion show. I am trying to find someone who is experienced in working with wire and chain in jewelry making who might be able to give me some advice if i were to explain the project to them…it is very unique…and if anyone has any suggestions or knows any nice friendly jewelry teachers in the new york area it would help me a lot.

I’ve worked with metals for decades (also drafting clothing patterns ….), and beading for several years.

If you want to send me some sketches or whatever, I’ll try to give you some useful ideas. I’m in northern British Columbia, thousands of miles from New York, so can’t give hand-on help, but I’ll do what I can.

You may want to look at the ads in ‘Bust’ magazine. There are so many interesting and innovative jewellers in NY. (What an opportunity!)

Sounds like you’ve got an interesting project going!

P.S. Just occurred to me a few hours later that magazines and books are other fertile resources. There is such a range, so many specializations. For example, there is a magazine called ‘Simply Wireworking’.

There are websites too. The one belonging to ‘Beadwork’ magazine features both beading and beadworking.

Enjoy!
