Description
a group for those who are interested in or create filigree jewelry. My name is Jeanne Rhodes-Moen of Jeannius Designs (http://www.jeannius.com ). I started this group for other people interested in the art of silver or gold filigree.
I have a book coming out in August on How-to make filigree jewelry called Silver Threads, The Making of Wire Filigree Jewelry. It's available through Kalmbach Publishing and Amazon.com on Pre-order. Jeannius Designs Homepage has a link to both sites.
For eventual readers of the book, there is an additional group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/silverthreads for those who want to ask questions or show off their creations after reading Silver Threads.
