Product Description
From Library Journal
This is a collection of projects and finished works of art by contemporary artists working with wire in combination with other materials. A section of fairly uncomplicated projects for jewelry and accessories is included, but the main interest here lies in the artists' comments and photographs of their work. Some designers were inspired by Alexander Calder, while others are fascinated with brightly colored telephone wire. Art students and other crafters will find many ideas for their own work. Recommended for public and academic library art collections.

Easy to understand, great photography, nice projects and you don't need to be a really talented artist to follow the directions and end up with a piece of art that you'll be proud of.

Must have for your wire library,
By Suzanne Metaxas "Beads and Baubles NY" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wire in Design: Modern Wire Art & Mixed Media (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful look into the world of wire jewelry and other wire made products. If you are a serious wire artist then this book will hold your interest. If you are just buying it for wire projects then I would not recommend you buy it. Although the projects are laid out well and easy to follow they are not the best collection of projects I've seen. I was more impressed with the content of the beginning of the book the delves into the world of wire working and design. BUY THIS BOOK if you have a love for wire. You will not be disappointed.

First rate book on designing with wire,
By Biffybeans - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wire in Design: Modern Wire Art & Mixed Media (Paperback)
Above all, this book shares with us a detailed article (with pictures!) with one of the most influential wire jewelry artisans of the past decade - Lynne Merchant. IMHO, the recently popular thick, oxidized silver, tribal/ethnic, coiled/wrapped style starts with her.
It's interesting to see that at least three of the other artists profiled in the book have mentioned taking classes with Lynne. To see their work, and how they have taken the skills that they have learned from Lynne and utilzed them to develop a style of their own, is just fantastic. |
