This book is a great one for learning the basics of wire
working. It has step by step photographs of each process, making learning the
bends and turns easy. The author shows how to make and use the basic findings:
jump rings, head pins, wrapped tops on large beads, clasps, earwires, loops, simple
charms, and how to crimp. Then she has eighteen projects: bracelets, necklaces,
earrings, and rings- rings aren’t something you find in very many jewelry
making books.
While the book doesn’t go into fancier things like making a
jig and creating extensively wrapped pieces, it can be the basis for a solid
foundation on wire working. You can’t do the fancy stuff without mastering the
basics. And being able to make your own findings can save you a lot of money
when you’re making jewelry!
