Book Reviews of Making Designer Bead and Wire Jewelry: Techniques for Unique Designs and Handmade Findings
Book Review: An inspirational book
Summary: 5 Stars
This was more than worth what I paid for it. I have only been wireworking for a few years even though I've been beading 15 years and selling my jewelry in a gallery for 3 years. I've been making my own ear wires but was inspired by the ear wire ideas in this book. The directions are concise and easy to follow. I'm teaching a beading class and we're using it for project ideas already. I love the way the author expands on her designs with ideas for using the concept to create other jewelry designs. I just wish the book was hardcover or spiral bound because it will be sure to be used constantly.
Summary of Making Designer Bead and Wire Jewelry: Techniques for Unique Designs and Handmade Findings
Jewelry making is one of the most popular craft trends, and its audience continues to grow. Few jewelry books on the market emphasize the importance of the design relationship between beads, wire, and jewelry findings?the ?nuts and bolts? of any piece. This book will show not only how to design and build your own spectacular jewelry out of beads and wire but how to design and create your own findings as well.
Most jewelry making books are geared for the beginner and provide little information for intermediate to advanced jewelry makers. Making Designer Bead and Wire Jewelry contains illustrated how-to techniques, full-color project photos, project instructions, and numerous tips that enhance the styles and skills presented. Intermediate and advanced jewelry makers will learn new techniques for creating signature elements for their designs, while beginners will get a handle on honing their skills.
