Inspired by classic gothic literature and movies, Harriet Smith's jewellery fuses dark beauty and humorous horror imagery - and here she shows you how to craft 35 of her distinct and striking pieces. Each project is suitable for beginners to jewellery-making with all the techniques clearly explained. The materials and tools used can be found in many craft, DIY and homeware stores or located on the internet - and there are often alternatives to be found in the kitchen tool cupboard or an old toy chest - so there is nothing to stop you making them in the comfort of your own home. Make the skull earrings, bones bracelet and dead flower corsage from the Fabrics chapter; in Beading and Metalwork there's a Gothic cross necklace, Sweeney Todd earrings and a barbed wire bracelet; and you can have fun with the designs in the Acrylics chapter - including a bat brooch and bottle-top cameo bracelet. Harriet's gothic jewellery isn't just for Goths - her pieces have wide-ranging appeal, are easy to make and fun to wear, and make a truly unique gift. - Gothic style has always been a key trend in fashion - think Alexander McQueen's iconic skull designs. - Vampires - and therefore gothic style - continue to be immensely popular. - Harriet Smith is an up-and-coming graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
