My book cover!

new metalsmithing book

Here is the very first peek of the cover of my new book, Making Metal Jewelry, due out December 13 by North Light Books. I know what my family and friends are getting for Christmas this year. (grin)

Seriously, it is such a big thing to write a book. It’s an honor, a chore (at times), a thrill, a fear, an exploration, an inner excavation and dozens of other emotions all wrapped together like a giant ball of string!

Tomorrow I will get my first glimpse of the entire book with my author review pages. I need to make the edits and answer all my editor’s questions by Friday so that’s what I’m doing the rest of the week. After that, design happens and it gets wrapped up pretty quickly.

I’ll share more as I can. Here’s wishing you a truly Artful day!

  1. Jen that is so sweet and yes that mantra is a good one. I think the proposal process is what’s so stifling since that is what gets you in the door. take care my friend!

  2. Oh Robin, your work is so beautiful and you have lots of techniques to teach. I would really like to encourage you to pursue writing a book. Yep, it can be a lot of work, but I’ve honestly found it to be such a rewarding experience. North Light has been terrific to work with so far. Like Nike says…just DO it. You have everything you need.
