In this latest project, McCreight has
designed five beads to illustrate five entirely separate ways to work
with Precious Metal Clay. "This is a hybrid," McCreight says. "It is
not a project tape, but it doesn't limit itself to technique either.
In fact, you can have it both ways. People who want projects can make
these beads, but people who want technique will find that the
information applies to anything you make with metal clay."
