5 Stars Great Wire Wrap book
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in wire wrap jewelry; it has excellent photos and easy to understand instructions for the projects. Plenty of eye candy too. Irina’s designs are always outstanding!
5 Stars Irina Miech creates a great wire wrapping book for all levels of enthusiasts!
Something great about this wire working book is that Irina Miech has a sensitivity to wire which is obvious and clear: she LOVES it. This love then conveys itself into the unique projects, which go from beginner to advanced. If you want to stress the technique of wire working in your jewelry making, go for this book! It is so fun and so worth your while!
What makes it good? For one thing, it is arranged very nicely: if you like, you can give yourself a full course, even if you haven’t tried any wire worked jewelry before, ever. The author makes sure that she shows the tools and quick techniques right up front and then she catches your eye with a set of beginner projects which are stunning and tempting enough even for seasoned wire workers. For example: her blue toned “Burst of Color” necklace and earring set was lovely…so special it made me want to get out my pliers right then and there! Although I can make things like this already, I haven’t made this. But now I want to!
I think that whether you already know how to make her projects or not is not the point…Irina has a true sense of beauty when she creates.
She is also very playful. You can see this sense of playfulness appear more and more when she is released from the strictures of having to keep things more simple. For example, in her intermediate section, she has a project with a number of variations called “Wire Wrapped Heart”. It is GREAT! Having the variations (she wraps a drusy, a sand dollar, and more!) really expands your understanding of what you are doing, and it is as if you are taking a class with a teacher right in your own home. I like the section in the intermediate part on how to make your own findings as well. I am always curious about other designer’s work and she has a noticable amount of fun with these. I can’t believe how amazingly intricate some of the projects looks in this part of the book. That is one thing about it which makes it very wonderful. Her step by step approach truly does work to bring you right up to the bar when wire wrapping if you take it slowly and just read the very clear, well photographed instructions.By the time the reader arrives at the advanced section, the cuff on the front looks far less daunting and much more enticing than it might have before reading the earlier parts of the book. It is very much a part of her organic style: fanciful and flowing. Trust me: you will want to try to make that cuff! Ms. Miech also has a stunning “Celtic Knot” set in this section, very worth making.
Many sizes and gauges of wire are used in Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders, mostly sterling, with some chain.
This fabulous book truly makes you want to learn new ways of wrapping wire. Irina Miech has created an inspiring and terrific book to have permanently in your
jewelry design library!
5 Stars Worthwhile for anyone who beads on wire
After reading the positive reviews on this one I bought the book and what they said is absolutely right on. I also have bought many disappointing beading books, and I was so happy to find this one does not fall in that category. Not only are the designs actually attractive and creative, this book goes into detail about many techniques and tools that you need to go beyond the usual wire wrap loop and it has detailed step by step photos and projects are arranged by difficulty level. The intro suggests that each project teaches you a new skill, and that if you do the projects in order each one builds on the other, so it is like a class that you can take at home. I look forward to expanding my skills with this book!
5 Stars Beautiful, inspirational book
As beaders and jewelry makers we are living in a wonderful time. Blogs, websites and beautiful books are everywhere. The inspiration and education encompassed in these books is mind boggling.
Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders by Irini Miech crossed my desk this week and it certainly gets a thumbs up from me. Published by Kalmbach Books and designed and edited in their easy to follow, well thought out style, this book contains step-by-step project instructions for all skill levels. As someone who does not follow instructions, I’m happy to say that each project also teaches techniques that can be applied to your own designs and projects.
Beginning to wireworking basics and progressing to advanced cabachon wraps, I think this is a beautiful book that will appeal to a broad cross section of beaders and jewelry makers. I especially loved the Framed Pearls and Celtic Knots projects. They are elegant and very wearable.
5 Stars I hope she writes “More Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders”
Irina Meich now turns her attention to wire jewelry after putting out the excellent trio of “Metal Clay for Beaders” books.
Most wire jewelry books usually cover just one aspect of wire work such as basic and wrapped loops or maybe its devoted to wire binding.This book is very well thought out. The beginning of the book show some wire baskets she made as a child and she proves herself as a master wire worker.
Irina Meich covers a broad spectrum of techniques such as basic and wrapped loops, jump rings, making components. However, she also adds a variety of cabochon wraps and other techniques for stones without holes. There are also wire-shaping techniques in the advanced section.
Each project has clearly written step-by-step instructions and photographs
along with a gallery of variations once the technique is mastered.
The design are fresh but they are also classic at the same time and won’t look dated as jewelry trends come and go.
