Ecarla: I love the book and all the lovely projects inside. For a used book, it looks and feels new. I am taking off a star because took almost 2 months to get here.

ScrewyManu: Très bon livre pour s'initier au wire weaving!! Bien qu'il soit en anglais, le langage utilisé est simple et les explications sont compréhensibles! Les photos sont de bonne taille et bonne définition, très claires! Et les projets sont parfaitement réalisables! Je les ai presque tous fait!!!
C'est un très beau livre, avec de bons conseils et de beaux projets parfaitement réalisables (les derniers avec peut-être un peu d'entrainement, selon votre niveau) et adaptables, avec à la fin des photos d'autre de ses projets pour donner des idées et de l'inspiration!! De tout mes livres de wire weaving c'est mon préféré!!!
Je recommande vraiment!!!

Cowboy’s wife: Excellent book. So I’ve been making jewelry for three years. I’ve been trying many techniques. Practice, practice, practice! I was able to give really nicely made jewelry gifts for Christmas this year. So now I’m reading for more advanced wire weaving. I’ve been on YouTube watching videos and doing a little on my own. I hoped this book would help me by pointing out some things I didn’t quite get and it has. I was an educator in the past. So instructional books are not new to me. This one is clearly and precisely laid out. The detail is explained in depth. The picture quality is terrific. I found this book to be a great help. The videos I have been watching make a lot more sense to me now. I start to watch a new video then I realize that I already know how to do it. It’s awesome. I feel like it not only taught me to do these patterns but gave me a much greater understanding of how weaving works and how to put things together. I was a math teacher and that is exactly what I always tried to do for my students.
I would highly recommend this book to a beginning wire weaver!

Brenda L. Phillips: I was looking at books to further my basic knowledge of wire wrapping and jewelry making. I did some research, read the reviews and narrowed it down to 3 books I found here at Amazon. Unfortunately, I purchased one of the others that people raved about, but was very disappointed, especially in the projects. There was some good info on getting started, but the designs were repetitive (great for learning, but overdone), leaving many pieces just "clunky?" in my opinion. So, I decided to try this one, and I am so very happy that I did!! THIS is the book I was looking for! There are projects for all levels, and so many are inspired, stunning pieces of art!! You learn, but this time you have pieces you would actually want to wear or give as gifts. I took the author's advice and ordered copper wire, not that you have to as any color wire would work, but he explains that copper is less expensive and good to learn on. Besides, look at the bracelet on the cover. It is gorgeous in copper! Once you master a piece, then go to your more expensive wires, if desired. I am still waiting for my wire to arrive, and I cannot wait to get started! I will check back as I start to make some of the...

SSBDW: Very well written and laid out. She starts with instructions to make the different weaves and then moves on to completed projects. Each project in the book teaches the reader another skill so that by the end of the book, you should have all the skills needed to make anything pictured in the gallery. While lengths of wires are not given in the instructions for the weaves (since they are not complete projects and you can use any length of wire you want), the lengths of all wires needed are given for each project in the book. The photography is excellent and all pictures are in full color; visual learners will delight in the number of pictures included. There is also a gallery at the end which gives many variations on the designs. The written instructions are very clear and concise and directions are easy to follow. The quality of the paper in the book is good as well, pages are well glued and you can bend back the cover without pages flying everywhere. The paper used is a high gloss, heavyweight paper. I really love this book and I'm extremely glad that I bought it. It is worth at least twice the price both in quality and instructional value!

Chelsea H: I preordered this book way back in April after having purchased a few of Lisa's tutorials from Etsy. I have waited patiently for 6 months and I am so glad to finally have it!

Nitty gritty about the book: The tutorials are very well laid out starting with a brief description of the tools you will need, wire, their gauges, and which tempers she prefers to use in her weaving and why. She then teaches you about each weave she will use in the book as well as her method for teaching them to you. She includes recipes for both lump and gel liver of sulfur and while she does not show all of her projects finished with this patina, you can see what kind of beauty it can add to the depth of a piece when the steps she gives you are done. Some of her pieces are left to patina on their own naturally and look just as stunning. There is also a whole section devoted to some of the techniques she uses to finish her pieces (which you can see just on the one cuff on the cover as an example.) She shows how to make her style of "gooseneck" hook closures as well as the way she embellishes her jewelry with beads.

The book is then separated into project chapters by difficulty (beginner,...
