A MUST HAVE BOOK
Rating:
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL BOOK. GREAT PHOTOS, DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS, & HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHAIN & CLASPS IS TERRIFIC. WITH THE COST OF THESE ITEMS GOING ONLY UP IT IS A GREAT SKILL TO LEARN. WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU IF YOU MADE THE JEWELRY YOU'RE WEARING, YOU CAN REALLY SAY YES!! WITH THE SKILLS TAUGHT IN THIS BOOK, THE JEWELRY YOU MAKE CAN REALLY BE A COMPLETE WORK OF ART. THERE ARE NO PREMADE CHAINS, ETC THAT YOU NEED TO BUY. IT REALLY IS YOUR WORK.
A Disappointment
Rating:
I was disappointed in this book. First, a lot of the projects are VERY basic, and similar projects are covered in other books, so if you've read one or two other wireworking books, this will be a repeat. Also, despite containing many fairly simple projects, the instructions are not very detailed. There are also not very many jewelry projects I would want to wear, though, in all fairness, I found a few good ideas that might inspire me. There are also a few bead stitching projects, something I did not want to see in what I had hoped was a wireworking book. While some obviously liked this book, for the most part, I didn't.
Not for the faint-hearted.
Rating:
Although this book has some lovely projects in it that are truly inspiring, the instructions leave much to be desired. Once you reach the Intermediate level projects, you are often told to simply "bend the wire according to the diagram." So if you're expecting step-by-step instructions, this is not the book for you.
Nice little idea starter..
Rating:
I like to look at this book to spark my creativity... While there aren't a lot of original ideas... it is a nice way to get my ideas flowing...
Great Projects For EVERYONE!!
Rating:
I found this book to contain a lovely selection of projects. There's something for everyone's style, as well as their skill level in creating it. The instructions are good, but not spectacular, and that's why it got 4 stars from me instead of 5. But basically, this book has broad appeal with it's great jewelry and terrific photos.
