Useful! April 26, 2008

I am admittedly the author's sister, but an avid jewelry hobbyist in my own right. The difference is that I am self-taught and my sister actually went to art school at one of the top-notch schools in the country where she learned about jewelry design (among other things).
I mostly buy pre-made wire findings I need for making jewelry -- things like clasps and eye pins. But her book teaches how to make these on your own, which I am going to start to do. Hopefully, I can save some money doing it.
The jewelry I make is usually strung on tiger tail or leather. This book takes me beyond pushing beads on a string and, starting at an easy level, teaches me to think more creatively about the "architecture" of the piece. Her instructions are very detailed and clear and easy to follow.
Her book starts out easy, so it's great for people like me who are just starting to explore new ways to make jewelry. The book ends with some pretty complicated pieces, so it's also good for people who know a lot already and are looking for a little inspiration.
The most inspiring jewelry book I own (or I've seen!) July 10, 2008

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. 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. 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. 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. But to find all of that PLUS to love EVERY project... WELL! What an accomplishment!

Ms Wuller provides step by step instruction with excellent illustrations on the construction of jewelry using wire. Importantly, early chapters begin with simpler to construct pieces, whilst later chapters become increasingly intricate. Her efforts "inspired" me with my work in wire!
