Braided Wire Jewelry (A Schiffer Book for Craftspeople)

Rating:
Summary: Itty bitty pictures
Review: Loretta wishes you "good luck" at the outset and you'll certainly need it. The photos are too tiny to distinguish any detail. I recommend that this book go back to the publisher to have the wire shown in its actual size. Pare down the explanations because bigger pictures could show more. In its current state, the book is fairly useless to learn wire wrapping techniques.

Summary: really elementary. good for school children, perhaps
Review: this book only uses one form of braiding, and spends pages explaining how to do it -- the same braids we all learned as children, for pigtails. Then the patterns are gussied up with beads but there's nothing here the rankest beginner wouldn't invent for onesself -- nothing new. A pity.
