Irish is one of the best jewelry design books that I have come across in my 8 years of jewelry making.Designing jewelry can be a great career or past time. Knowing the ins and outs of the tools, materials and techniques can save designer headaches from material costs to designing hours. Easy & Elegant Beaded Copper Jewelry takes some of the guess work out of wire designing.This is definitely the must buy book for anyone interested in learning the basics of wire working for creating stunning wire jewelry designs. The books contain some of the most comprehensive how-to content that I have found in one source. Its full color and step by step instructions make designing wire based jewelry a snap.The book does an outstanding job of introduces a new hand-made jewelry designer/crafter to the basic tools of the trade, the assorted styles of beads available and the terms of the industry.The book also does an excellent job of showcasing the many different types of wire wrapping techniques and includes some really awesome designs with complete step by step illustrations on how to change the design to fit one's personal preference.While my library already includes many jewelry designing technique guides, some very good ones and well let's just say some others; I can always use a new one.If you are interested in designing jewelry using wire wrapping techniques, then "Easy & Elegant Beaded Copper Jewelry" is a must. I highly recommend it.
