Wire and glass beads are combined in this jewelry-making guide as equal partners, making the bending of wire more than just rings for attachments. Time, space, and affordability of the materials are kept minimal, so the jewelry-making process remains fun. Instructions and color photographs of 60 necklace, bracelet and earrings sets are provided to inspire your own creativity. You will love not only creating the jewelry shown, but also making your own jewelry designs in combinations of glass, ceramic, or metal beads with wire elements of various types.
This book is has a lot of great information in it, especially since I'm a beginner, but some of the pictures were a bit blurry, which really surprised me since I've never seen blurry pictures in a published book before, but, there are some unique projects and techniques that are worth it.

YOU CAN MAKE WIRE AND BEAD JEWELRY Patricia DeMarco This is an excellent book for the beginner and a useful resource for the more experienced jewelry maker. The chapters on Elements of Design, and Materials are interesting; especially the instructions for making your own findings. The instructions for sixty necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are inspiring and one can't help but have idea after idea for one's own creations while perusing the book. I really like the instructions for the various types of Egyptian Swirls. Diana C. Norris, Fiber Artist and Beader
