Media Reviews

Mar 05

This is a well priced book which covers the basics on wire and metal without, it has to be said, much in the way of diagrams and picturesl Most of the book is taken up with projects using embossed metal or twisted wire. The details here are much better and some attractive designs are shown. Projects include cards, frames, even purses, while jewellery and notebooks are interesting additions.
