Book Reviews of Wire-Jewelry Workshop: Techniques For Working With Wire & Beads
Book Review: Beautiful Wire Jewelry
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Susan Ray has done an excellent job with this book. I own 100+ books on jewelry/beading, and this one is on my favorite list.
The designs are basic, but very pretty, and inspiring. One could easily change things up a bit to make it your own. Tons of clear color photos, many which are close ups. There is a section for using the wig-jig included with the directions for working wire by hand.
The estimated prices are off, but the way sterling silver has shot up, it is difficult to keep current. My suggestion would be to add 15-25% to her estimates.
The directions are clear and easy to follow. This would be a good beginner to intermediate book. There is also a 2 page resource guide in the back of the book, after a nice glossary and index.
I love all the color photos, since I seem to be able to relate to them better than hand drawn. I think I'll start on the rings.....
