www.karenplatt.co.uk: In this book, the imaginative and highly creative author has applied the art of knitting, crocheting and felting to jewellery to create fabulous pieces to wear. The designs will not make you cringe, believe me. Twenty six contemporary designs will open your eyes to the possibilities of using these techniques. Here, you will learn how to crochet or knit with silver or copper wire and how to make your own findings too. Discover how to combine these with beads. Rosemary takes unusual elements and materials and magically creates wearable art. The insider information on working with wire is very useful. Rosemary's chatty style is easy to read. Although the steps to create these pieces are numbered, I feel some more picture steps would have been welcome, so that the method is more obvious to the reader. Nevertheless this book not only shows you how to create jewellery with wire, but it also fires the imagination.
