This book is so accessible, with so much information, so many well done step by step professionally done pictures, and with such incredible detail! This is just absolutely an incredibly gorgeous book!
I posted a lot of pictures because before
I ever spend another dime on any book I want to make sure it has the number of amazing projects in it, that this one does. I wanted people to know about all the amazing projects available in this book.
If you make jewelry, and have any exposure to wire work, if you've wanted to do wire work but need a guide BUY THIS BOOK! If you never buy any other book on wire work, BUY THIS BOOK!!! Of the 30+ books I have on jewelry making and wire work, this is my absolute favorite!
In this book, Sarah Thompson breaks the projects down into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. She very clearly demonstrates each and every technique and weave you'll use.
Then, in the instructions for each project, she tells you what techniques you'll be using, and where to find them in the instructions at the beginning of the book! I love her incredible attention to detail! Her projects are stunning and I want to do all of them!
The thing I love the most is that there are SEVENTEEN gorgeous projects and not just 17 projects but Sarah SHOWS you alternatives or variations on the projects she's done, variations you can try! She also shows every single project she does before she uses liver of sulphur and after. That's such a great thing because I'm not a big fan of liver of sulphur.
I've taken lots of pictures because I want people to know how incredibly generous Sarah has been in showing so many projects and alternatives. I've never come across a more comprehensive book with so many amazing projects! I absolutely LOVE this book and, in my opinion, there's no other book that's better on the market today!
If you make jewelry and are interested in wire work, or know someone else who's interested in wire work, buy this book!!!
I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough!
Very Highly Recommended!!!

There's one gaping flaw, however. The step by step photos are barely more than thumbnails, and they are disappointingly low quality. Zooming in on them results in fuzzy pictures which are completely useless. I purchased the Kindle version of the book and have an HD Fire tablet, so I expected better quality photos than that. Fortunately I have a small amount of experience with wire wrapping to draw on and can figure it out. Those who are just getting started in wire wrapping might need to search for example photos online to help them understand the different weaves.
Despite that flaw, I still think this is worth buying. It's inexpensive when compared with other books on the topic, which means a smaller investment for those trying to decide if they want to delve deeper into this craft. This book keeps things simple enough for a true beginner, unlike all too many books out there.
I've been making wire jewelry for over ten years and I very rarely find wire artists that I enjoy. And, I have just about every wire jewelry book in print. But Sarah has a very special style and a wonderful way of teaching it that I truly enjoy. I couldn't figure out how she would be able to break down her complex designs into understandable pieces, but she does! She's an excellent teacher! And another thing she teaches that I place a high value on is neatness, symmetry, and attention to detail. Sadly, there is a lot of sloppy wirework out there and I cringe every time I see it.
Thank you Sarah for your wonderful book! I enjoyed it, and will continue to, for a long time. You are an excellent artist and skilled artisan!
