Jewelry Made with Wire & Fiber (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542371827)

Nealay Patel exercises his craft in designing, educating and publishing his jewelry works. His first book, Jewelry for the New Romantic - New and Unusual Techniques with Beading Wire and Crystals, explored the concept of integrating beading wire with bead weaving to create unique jewelry pieces with unusual textures, and set a milestone in his checklist of accomplishments. Jewelry for the New Romantic opened many new opportunities for Nealay, including regularly contributing to several beading magazines (nationally and internationally) as well as making television appearances on Beads, Baubles and Jewels and Jewel School on Jewelry Television Network. He has also had the privilege of instructing many workshops at various trade shows, such as Bead&Button and Bead Fest. Aside from his dedication to the publication industry, Nealay enjoys teaching, and even learning, especially from his local bead community in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nealay's interest in the creative arts does not end at just beadwork. His passion for creating original works is utilized as a full-time associate creative director for a well-known advertising firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
