Pewter It

Description

Pewter work is a wonderful craft suitable for crafters of all ages. It is great fun to work with this soft metal, which is so willing to be bent and moulded into all sorts of exciting shapes. In her first book, Easy pewter projects, author Sandy Griffiths focused on easy, smaller projects. The projects in this book remain easy, but the selection now includes bigger projects with interesting décor items for just about every room in your home. With detailed instructions for everything from a stylish bathroom mirror to elegant salt and pepper shakers, serving platters, pewter art for the living room and a bedside table with a pewter door, the focus is often on recycling – and what better medium to use than this versatile metal where even repeating the same design seldom gives exactly the same result? The designs are completely original and the book includes templates for all of them. Easy-to-follow instructions are accompanied by stunnning photographs of all finished items, with extensive crafters hints and tips to ensure pleasing results every time.
