While the market has many books on solid, chunky wirework, there are few that teach lacy, intricate wirework done without soldering or casting. Melody’s work is airy and lacy, and while the techniques may be similar to traditional wirework, the results are unique. With step-by-step written directions, photos, and illustrations, this book presents more intermediate level techniques on how to make classic necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, pendants, pins, and hair jewelry.
Definitely delivers on the title. Delicate, complex, and vintage looking pieces that, though not my style, are very attractive and professionally done. The section in the back, on Technical Basics, is quite useful despite being so abbreviated. Plentiful photographs accompany each project.
