Editor’s
letter
H
ello! And welcome to
the first issue of our
redesign. I’ve been the
editor of
Making Jewellery
for
about six years now and we’ve
done a few design tweaks along
the way but never a complete
redesign. So it was a very exciting
day when we sat around the
table and had a meeting about
redesigning the whole of
MJ
including the masthead (for those
not in the know, that’s the big
heading on the cover:
Making
Jewellery).
It’s a big thing to be
allowed to redesign the main
title of the magazine! We’ve been
working hard for months now
to update all the content, too,
so that you will be getting more
information to help you move
forward with your jewellery
making journey.
The team here at
Making
Jewellery
are really pleased with
the new design and we’ve been
able to squeeze in more makes
and more inspiring pieces of
jewellery for you.
This issue has a travel theme,
so all of our designers looked at
destinations as their inspiration.
I love the piece on the front
cover designed by Sue Mason-
Burns (p10) called Tulips from
Amsterdam – you can guess where
that inspiration came from! I’m
also excited about Karen Caine’s
Double Helix weave technique
(p20), it’s so versatile and beautiful
that I can’t wait to get a bit of free
time to try it out.
Whichever project turns out
to be your favourite this month,
I hope you enjoy our new look as
much as we do.
