Innovative ideas for creating one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces fill this fantastic new book that contains detailed instructions for making each of the 28 wound, twisted, coiled, glued, and trapped wire and fibre beads. Crafters learn to create "wibers" by combining fibres such as cotton embroidery floss and hand-dyed silk threads with a wide variety of thin gauge wires. These "wibers" can then be used to create simple beads and jewellery. Additionally, photographs of jewellery pieces are featured to illustrate how easy it is to design beautiful and stunning jewellery with these self-crafted beads.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Spectacular book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fiber-Wire Beads & Jewelry (Paperback)
Man, whoever wrote the description for this book musn't even have cracked it open! Sure, there are instructions for 30 some odd (and I might add, wonderful) beads but that's the least of this book. The bulk of it is jam-packed with amazing wire and fiber jewelry that has nothing to do with fiber wire beads. You've got to take a look at this amazing stuff....for example, fabulous neckpieces using a simple method of winding wibers around ball chain and an entire chapter on crocheting with fiber and wire! Just gorgeous.This book has been seriously under rated, it's a wellspring of innovative and elegantly simple fiber and wire jewelry.

Fiber work for wire jewelry,
By Jean Leslie "Jbyrd" (Delaware, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fiber-Wire Beads & Jewelry (Paperback)
My main interest is bead stringing and wire wrapping so I skimmed over this book for about a year. After a closer look, I bought it and wondered why I didn't do it sooner. It melds wire working technique with fiber arts. Basic wire working tools and skills are necessary for Fiber-Wire Beads Jewelry. The book doesn't teach it which is the only drawback but there are other books that do this. All Wired Up by Mark Lareau would be a perfect companion for this book.
The instructions are clear and encouraging. The photos of beads and finished jewelry are inspiring. Another plus is that it requires mimimal equipment and can be made with brass, copper or craft wire instead of the more expensive silver and gold wires.

This review is from: Fiber-Wire Beads & Jewelry (Paperback)
I found this to be informative for myself, a beginner. My work has been in textiles and beads separately, this is a very good intro to the combination of the two. There are precise, clear instructions for the interesting designs. I am pleased with the range of possiblities going forward with my own designs.
