4.0 out of 5 stars For experienced wire wrappers, June 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Moods in Wire: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fine Art of Wirewrapping, Vol. 1 (Spiral-bound)

Jewelry designs are presented with step by step text and drawings including a color photo page with the full variety of jewelry pieces shown in the book. Emphasis is on wire-wrap rings, including 13 designs with instructions. Also included are additional designs for 2 bracelets, 2 earrings, 4 pendants, 2 stickpins, 2 sharks teeth pendants, 3 spider pins and 1 cross. Ring and pendant designs are very creative and quite attractive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great place to start!, December 8, 2006

I was looking for a starting point to do "real" wire wrapped jewelry - not "crazy wire spirals" jewelry. This is not a book about how to make spirals using those boards with the moveable pegs. It's about how to make wire "settings" for free shaped stones, cut stones, and cabachons. I found it very easy to follow (When reading without distraction) and full of encouragement to be creative.
The only drawback was that a number of more complicated designs in the later part of the book had no illustrations or photos of the finished design. Adding just one black and white photo page of these designs finished would have made this book perfect and worth 5 instead of the 4 stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars For a Beginner, December 7, 2010

This is a good book for someone who is just starting out in wire working. Pretty simple and easy to follow directions.
