Summary

Metalsmiths reveal new findings in jewelry trends! 
Following up their best-selling book Handcrafted Wire Findings, Denise Peck and Jane Dickerson give jewelers more techniques, more (and different) findings, and more inspiration. Handcrafted Metal Findings features 30 step-by-step tutorials for metal findings that require only basic jewelry-making skills. Working with precut metal blanks and thin-gauge sheet metal, Denise, Jane, and several contributing artists have created great-looking findingsùhead pins, bead caps, bails, charms, connectors, cones, and more--all without a lot of effort. 
All the metalwork can be done with basic tools--no saws, no flex shaft, no oxy/acetylene tanks. Metal pieces are hole-punched, dapped, hammered, textured with stamps and tools, colorized, oxidized, and patinated. Construction techniques include simple soldering with a micro torch and cold connections such as riveting. Finished gallery pieces that incorporate some of the findings provide additional inspiration in this inspiration- and information-packed book.

    A skilled animal communicator reveals the inner world of dogs, cats, horses, and other creatures—and how humans can understand them more deeply. 
     
    Animals are talking to us all the time. Patty Summers listens and understands. A renowned animal communicator, Summers can converse directly with a variety of animal species, from cats and dogs to rabbits, horses, and iguanas. In this beautiful and moving book, the animals share their wisdom, their perspective on life, and even how they feel about human beings. 
     
    The animals can teach us many things, and Summers uses her abilities to help humans listen, as well as to aid humans and animals in understanding one another better. She also describes the ways that animals comprehend the world, and explains that they always understand the intent of human communications, if not the words. And she teaches that they share our wants and needs, as they desire the same things that humans do—love, compassion, kindness, and respect—and they do not want to be thought of as pets or as beings to be exploited. 
     
    Summers shares numerous encounters with animals, and each story has a valuable lesson. Each is a gift of spirit from the animals. We have so much to learn from our animal companions, domestic and otherwise. Talking with the Animals provides a rare glimpse inside the minds of the creatures with whom we share our planet.
