More About the Author

I've been making artistic jewelry with wire and beads for several years now, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching others to do the same through my books and instructional DVDs. I also teach workshops in the Southern California area where I live, and occasionally travel across the US to teach for bead stores and at shows and conventions. Lately I've been teaching quite frequently in Europe as well. So far, I've taught jewelry making retreats in Cortona, Italy, in the south of France, in Montreal, Quebec, and in Santorini, Greece, as well as near Prague in the Czech Republic. What a joy to share my passion for jewelry making with other artists from around the world!
My list of published books includes Stamp Art (1999), The Stamp Artist's Project Book (2001), Rubber Stamped Jewelry (2003), Bead on a Wire (2005), Contemporary Copper Jewelry (2009), Wire Art Jewelry Workshop (2011), and Arty Jewelry and Arty Jewelry II (ebooks available on amazon.com, published in 2011).
My list of instructional DVDs includes Tribal Treasures Bracelet Workshop, Rings of Beauty Workshop, Bohemian Bangles Workshop, and Ethnic Style Jewelry Workshop. All of my DVDs and books are available on www.amazon.com.

I just received The Complete Guide to Rubber Stamping Jewelry today and I love it! The first part of the book concentrates on getting started with jewelry making which includes wire basics such as jump rings, eye pins, bead connections, etc. The rest of the book has clear cut instructions for making great rubber stamped jewelry out of glass, polymer clay, fun foam, copper and many other surfaces. The instructions are well written and they are best used by crafters who already have a knowledge of working with the materials used in the projects.

This is Sherilyn Miller's best book and I highly recommend it for any one who loves to create unique rubber stamped jewelry.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for all artists and crafters, November 24, 2003

This review is from: Rubber Stamped Jewelry (Paperback)

Sure, it is called Rubber Stamped Jewelry, but it is more than that! This must-have book shows a wide range of techniques with well written instructions. Photographs give you a clear understanding of working with wire, rubber stamps, polymer clay, fibers, and more.

You will be inspired to create several of these projects for yourself, for gifts, and for embellishments for other work. The projects are easy enough for beginners and creative enough for the advanced.

I am glad that I have this book and it will make a great gift as well!
