Book Description

April 15, 1995
In this book, the authors introduce you to the elegance and fun of wire wrap artistry. Use your creativity as you follow clear, concise text, detailed photographs, and full size patterns to mastr this beautiful, jewelry craft. One of the unique features of this book is the use of patterns for each step in a piece's construction. We think the reader will find these patterns greatly beneficial, and they will result in far less reworking.

5.0 out of 5 stars wire wrapping at its best, April 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Wire Wrapped Jewelry (Jewelry Crafts) (Plastic Comb)
This book is not for a complete beginner but rather for someone who has worked with wire before. Wire wrapping cabs has been one of the things that I struggled with until I got this book and then all of a sudden I got "IT". This book has some wonderful projects using some common sized stones available through many mail-order sources. The back of the book has a section on planning your own projects. I find that I can't read this book before bed because it makes me want to get up and get to work on one project or another.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a beginners book. Not for quartz crystal points., August 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Wire Wrapped Jewelry (Jewelry Crafts) (Plastic Comb)
I wanted a beginners book to help me make wraps primarily for quartz crystal points. I felt this book did not fit the need. Although it did have some beautiful patterns and gave easy to read & understand directions, drawings and pictures. It also seems like it is be better suited for the next step up in wire wrapping. This book did contain good information on tools and wire types. I plan on keeping it for when I need to advance to the next level

4.0 out of 5 stars From Filigree-wrapped cabochons to chain bracelets, June 25, 2001
By 
Amy the Craft Diva "Amy J" (N Miami Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Contemporary Wire Wrapped Jewelry (Jewelry Crafts) (Plastic Comb)
Specialized designs, mostly with twisted gold wire. Designs range from wire-wrapped cabochons to airy pearl drop earrings and chain-link bracelets. Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions with photos or illustrations allow anyone with minimal experience to follow thru and create a beautiful piece of jewelry. Twelve designs are included in this book, some with variations on a theme. Basic techniques and tool information start off the book. Wire gauges and wire-wrap sources are also included.
