"This book will help me perfect this area of jewelry making, I have no doubt. I've done stringing, and stitched beadwork, and now I'm trying the wirework. It is interesting, intriguing, and now totally possible to create beautiful pieces. Just looking at the book is giving me ideas. Great product."

"This book had a variety of skill levels from which to choose. Step by step instructions were good. Pictures with the step by step would have improved it, but most designers can understand the steps. There is a wide variety of wiring designs that will spark more ideas. Great reference tool."

Not easy to follow
Date:September 12, 2010
Pros: unique designs, photography
Cons: Ease of Use, no detailed instructions
"Beautiful designs -- very inspiring. But the directions are minimal, at the least. Frequently assumptions were made, and it wasn't clear how the author got from one step to another. I bought the book for various techniques that I've been trying to figure out. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to figure them out...."
