User Comments about the Inspired Wire: Learn to Twist, Jig, Bend, Hammer, and Wrap for the Prettiest Jewelry Ever

This book is a pretty good one. I have only looked at it once since purchasing, I may suggest buying used or seeing if your library has a copy.

I was very happy I ordered this book. Well done. It was a terrific beginner book which was what I wanted. The author has a nice style of explaining and the pictures of her designs are beautiful.

Learn how to twist and bend wire to make pretty wire jewelry with INSPIRED WIRE, a jewelry maker's guide using techniques perfect for newcomers to wire jewelry. DonovanCalifornia Bookwatch A minimum of equipment is needed to produce the most complex of designs and eye-catching blends of wire and beads, making this an outstanding pick for any library strong in crafts or jewelry-making books. Large full-page color photos and easy instructions contribute to a winner.Diane C.

The artist explains everything in detail and the pictures are extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this book.

It is an excellent teaching tool: it details particularly well the materials and tools you will need to be successful with this type of jewelry work, and the instructions for each technique and project are so well outlined and easy to follow. But to find all of that PLUS to love EVERY project. What an accomplishment. I own many jewelry books of several types and this book is BY FAR leaps and bounds above the rest in all the important areas. WELL.

It is gorgeous to look at and ALL of the projects are inspirational - meaning that they lead your mind to other applications of the techniques shown. I truly am blown away by this book. (in case you can't tell). Most books I've found to be somewhat disappointing, and not always as well-written as you might hope for.
