I found this book totally inspiring! If you've never made jewelry before, this is a perfect starting point! Using 3 simple pliers, a spool of wire and some beads ... you can get started. Beautifully photographed with step-by-step images (just like a good recipe book), the pages walk you through each stage of fabrication. It is packed with design ideas that would inspire anyone interested in using wire and beads. A perfect gift for a craft maker!

I think the title of my review says it all. This book is exceptional in defining different techniques and applying them to the projects in the book. And each project has a variation pictured so you actually get two products per technique. And every design is wearable. Great for beginner or intermediate users.

I am a complete beginner and found this book very helpful. The instructions are easy to follow, the pictures vivid and beautiful, and the finished jewelry is lovely. There are lots of different projects to make for every level. I highly recommend this book.

This a great book to get you started using wire in Jewelry. Very clear & concise instructions, I mastered most skills within a short time.

Great book for beginners. Absolutely best price on the internet or in my town!

If you are just learning wireworking this book is for you. Lots of great projects , easy to follow instructions and beautiful illustrations.

Even with my several years of experience wrapping wire I found the instructions incomplete and confusing. Definitely not a book for a novice but possibly a good reference book. Beautifully illustrated though. I got some great ideas for displaying my jewelry.

This book presents all the basics to making wire jewelry. It will let you know which supplies are most important, teaches you how to make basic shapes and gives some projects. What is most important though is that it gives one the tools to design one's own jewlery and it does so with such clarity and precision. After reading this book, I made and sold my first earring/necklace set from silver and green flourite. I keep this book by my side when I create wire work at night to sell at my on-line boutique. I give 10% of my profits to charity...

In short -- buy this you will not regret it!

I have purchased other books by Linda Jones and will continue to do so! Beautiful projects, quality directions, beautiful photos.....it has it all. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to make wire jewelry!Buy it....you won't be sorry!

I borrowed this from the library, and after seeing it, not only did I buy it, but so did some of my friends. It really is a great book of basic techniques for the beginner. It is well-illustrated with easy to read instructions. Pieces are such you will want to wear them.
