Good book that shows how to build from basic techniques to more complicated looks. A short introduction of tools, materials, and precedes the long chapter on techniques. Then come the 15+ projects! Step-by-step directions and photographs are clear and plentiful. A great source of inspiration for the budding or intermediate crafter.

Wire Art Jewelry Workshop by Sharilyn Miller contains step-by-step projects. I love that an instructional dvd is included with this book. With our Soft Flex® Craft Wire launching late last year, my mind has definitely been on wire work creations. This book is chalk full of inspiring projects that are perfect for our Craft Wire. The step-by-step photos are amazing. It makes it very clear and easy to recreate each project as if it was your own.

Lovely design inspiration. However, I need more skills before I can really do anything with this.
