Rocks are my favourite, but wire-wrapping will only get you so far, so I want to learn how to drill holes into rocks!

Every holiday I collect stones and shells from the beach and the forest, and set them on my desk. I think it is way more fun when I can lear to make jewelry of it and take them outside!

Earrings or a necklace from abandoned snail shells. (made those already)
Using vibrant flowers in a way that they would not wilt for a brooch/necklace/ring would be cool.

Summers I lived on the beach as a kid collecting everything from beach glass to shells to pebbles and even some small odd shaped pieces of drift wood that would make some awesome jewelry.

Reve Maxeville · Boissy-Saint-Léger, Île-de-France, FR · 6 projects 27th July 2012

I think I would use this book to help me come up with a good idea for wine corks. They inspire me I always keep them thinking I'll come up with a good idea since they seem like such a useful medium. But no, I never think of anything more than buttons or trivets.

I would love to make some wire wrapped crystal or rocks found on various travels but I fear, since I dont know how to do it, I would lose them. I really need to a book on the correct way to wire wrap and use found objects!
