Silver Wire Jewelry by Irene From Petersen, Irene from Peterson (2005, Hardcover)

As the cover states, this book teaches you how to create jewelry via coiling, braiding,& knitting wire. This is a nice book packed with techniques, inspiring photographs, and instructions to create your own beautiful jewelry. There are projects for many different skill levels. And if you're an old pro, the pictures are always fun to look at now and then for inspiration.

The teaching format... first you learn techniques, then you are teased with inspiring photos of jewelry created with these techniques, and finally you are given the recipes to create the jewelry you see in the photos with the techniques you've learned. This format works well and there is a TON of information on this style of wire jewelry for those getting started! I would recommend this book to those who have a little jewelry experience. For you completely new...not familiar with the art or tools at all...you might be a little overwhelmed, there's a lot in this book!
