Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders 2

This book is an excellent follow-up book to Irina Miech’s first very successful book, Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders. Following a similar layout and organization as her first book, this book presents 22 new projects including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, brooches, and pendants. Irina keeps the projects fashionable and fresh by including a mix of metals such as copper, bronze, and silver, introducing exciting new elements including rivets, metal blanks, sea glass, and wires, and using new tools including hole-punching pliers and letter stamps. All of these additions inspire new colors and depth in the wire projects she presents.

Irina Miech is an artist, teacher, and the author of five popular Kalmbach how-to books on jewelry design for beaders. She also oversees her two retail stores, Eclectica and The Bead Studio, in Brookfield, Wis., where she teaches classes in beading, wirework, and metal clay. The metal clay certification program she designed is recognized by the PMC Guild. Her previous books are Metal Clay for Beaders, More Metal Clay for Beaders, Inventive Metal Clay, Beautiful Wire Jewelry for Beaders, and Metal Clay Rings. Her jewelry designs also have been featured in Bead&Button, BeadStyle, and Art Jewelry magazines.
