Jewelry Thread Free Assistive Fact

No Comments

This book is just wonderful. I own many books on jewelry making, especially for metalsmithing and precious metal clay. My son and I both make jewelry, and we were looking for a book to further our wire knowledge. This book more than fulfilled our need.

It will satisfy any wire folks out there, whether you do wire wrapping, sculpture, or like me, mostly use wire as a component in larger pieces. Filigree work is different enough from regular wire work to warrant a separate book. Unlike other wire, filigree pieces usually require soldering. (Never fear, it is beginner level soldering, and she tells you how!) Also, the wire used is completely different. Fortunately, Jeanne teaches you to make your own, if you wish. Or, you can buy nice quality filigree wire from Rio Grande’s website.

The book begins with the basics – the history of filigree, the tools you will need, and basic skills. Then it has numerous projects, which progress in difficulty through the book. The basic projects are easy enough for a true beginner, but attractive enough to appeal to advanced wire artists. Some of the simpler projects could also be used as components in more advanced creations. It amazed me how, once I got the basics down, I was making really gorgeous jewelry that looked much more difficult and time-consuming than it really was! My friends are amazed.

Aside from having such great information, the book is very well-written. The step by step directions are easy to understand, so you always know what to do next. And there are lots of colorful pictures, which help you know if you’re doing the next step right. You can tell the author really thought about how to make the information accessible to us.

If you’re a first-timer, don’t worry – by the end of the book you’ll feel like a real artist! If you’re an intermediate wire wrapper, you’ll be pleased at how useful your skills are in this medium, but you’ll still be learning something new! And for the advanced person – you will learn enough new patterns and techniques to find this book truly rewarding.

We’ve really enjoyed what we’ve learned so far, and I can’t wait to do some more of the projects in here. This book is well worth buying, and its a deal on Amazon. Go ahead and get it – you won’t regret it. And you’ll get to amaze your friends with all of your beautiful new jewelry! (Or surprise them with a gorgeous gift!)
