Limited Variety of Projects

Lots of jump rings projects. If you're looking for a book on how to make basic chains and jump rings, this might be for you. I was hoping for more designs like on the cover.

Needs Pictures!

Great ideas however, being a "visual" learner, I would like this book much more if it had pictures in the instructions.

Awesome book
January 17, 2009
The projects in this book are pretty amazing. If you are a somewhat experienced wireworker, I don't think you'll have trouble following the directions. Regardless, I do wish there were photos of the work in progress because sometimes things are unclear. But this does not detract from the beauty and inspiration of the designs.

Directions are hard to follow

The directions aren't that clear and would've been helped with more photos of the projects. Is not that I was thinking, cause nothing is a new technique.

Can't follow the directions...
January 06, 2009
I like the designs in this book, and intend to keep it, but I'm already frustrated at not being able to follow some of the directions for the projects. The instructions are ALL in writing...NO diagrams, NO pictures or close-ups of the work in progress, and only the "glamour" shot of the finished piece make things really difficult for a visual learner like me.
