    • Fabulous wirework!!
I am a jewelry maker (metalsmith and lampworker) but was never really interested in wire wrapping until I saw the jewelry that Janice Berkbile made. I took one of her workshops a couple of months ago and made a beatiful pendant that I just love. I always get comments on it when I wear it out in public. Anyway, wanting to learn more I pre-ordered her book back in February and I must say that it was worth the wait! This book is loaded with beautiful projects by two artists: Janice Berkbile and Tracy Stanely. The first 25 pages of the book discuss the tools and materials used, and explain the basic techniques in detail. This is then followed by the actual projects. There are 24 projects in the book. Twelve by each artist. The book is just loaded with great photos showing every step of the process. The instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. If you are a lampworker and want new ways to show off your beads then you will love this book. There is an 8 page gallery at the end of the book which showcases more of their work. Very inspiring! ... show more

    • Love This Book
This is a gorgeous book. I make lampwork and fused glass beads and baubles and was looking for a more creative way to present them. I've only tried one project so far, and it was a simple one, but it was fairly easy to follow and turned out great with the limited wireworking tools I have (just a regular hammer and some jewelers pliers). I've ordered some more tools and wire and I can't wait to make some more complex items. The instructions in the book are well documented and the photos are excellent and most of them have a few variations on the main project to give you some idea on how you can advance the concept being taught. I'm sure this book won't make me as awesome a wire worked as Berkebile, but it already will give me some creative concepts that I don't see very often. ... show more

    • Great Book!
I found this book at store for $25 and decided to see if I could get it at a better price. I love the designs in the book because they seem to be well made, and they used heavy wire. Most of the designs are simple and easy to make. Great for begginners. Some may be a bit time consuming. Just remember if you want to oxidize the jewelry as many of the design in this book are. It would be better to use sterling silver or silver filled wire. ... show more

    • I learned so much
There is so much to learn with this book. I'm not exactly a beginner but I'm definitely not seasoned by any means and this book was wonderful in showing some really cool wire wrapping techniques, some great projects and a great refresher on other techniques.

    • a "must have" resource for wireworkers!
I have taken many a class from Tracy and this book is a "must have" resource for her ways of working with wire and beads. Tons of photos; numerous techniques explained clearly and fabulous project ideas. What I appreciate about Tracy's and Janice's approach is that they show you how to make a project and always include variations for those who like to make it their own or substitute beads. Whether you have taken classes from these talented ladies or not, this book is full of suggestions and techniques that will be basics for any wireworker wanting to create cool jewelry. The photos are so nice and close up; it's almost like having Tracy or Janice at your side. ... show more

    • Wire Work
This book is by Janice Berkebile and Tracy Stanley. I have had the pleasure of taking WORKSHOPS with both and found both of them to be excellent teachers. When I took from Janice, this book was not in existence. I just finished a workshop with TRACY and she told me to order it on Amazon, which I did. I took it to Staples and had the spine coiled so that it would lay flat while I worked. THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. It identifies all your tools, it shows step by step what you do to create what you want. I have now set up my workshop and at Tracy's suggestion, I PRACTICE everyday for whatever amount of time I have. It takes practice at any art to become proficient. I was lucky enough to get to take from the 2 authors, but I HONESTLY believe that with this book, I could have made some fun and amazing items. ... show more

    • Not Beginners
I feel bad giving it a bad review but I liked the few designs on the cover but most of the designs inside I don't like at all and it is definitely not for beginners! She should market it for intermediate or advanced.

    • Very happy.
I have been working with wire for over 3 years and I still found interesting projects and techniques that I had forgotten or just didn't know. Worth the money.
