The Art of Wire

"The Art of Wire" is loaded with techniques that the reader can use to create what all jewellery enthusiasts seem to want more of - wire jewellery. Projects featured in this book take on a wide variety of looks from the more obvious wire-like (filigree or shaped wire) to that of more solid metal (wrapped or hammered wire) to what almost resembles fabric (crocheted wire). After an extensive techniques section, each of five chapters focus on a different facet of wire working and patterns for shaped-wire projects are provided when necessary. Each of the 30+ projects are stepped out and styles range from upscale to more casual and many incorporate beautiful gemstones into their design
