- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Why post a book without pictures. It wasted my time going through the pages looking for them. I am VERY disappointed.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5No pictures to accompany the text, making it not easy to follow or even imagine what is being made. A shame because the book is well written!

Introduction
There’s nothing that satisfies the creativity bug quite like making handcrafted, tangible, beautiful items. Artistic outlets come in all shapes and sizes, but some offer more rewarding end results than others. Wire weaving is one such outlet.
Wire weaving is a jewelry-making technique that is used to create both charmingly simple and stunningly complex designs, and if you’re reading this, then you’ve clearly fallen in love with the craft. As one of the oldest techniques for making jewelry still practiced to this day, there’s a lot of information out there regarding which weaves to use, what projects to make, and the many variations of materials you can utilize in order to come up with your own unique pieces. It almost becomes overwhelming to sort it all out, especially once you’re past the beginner stages. That’s where Intermediate Wire Weaving comes in.
This guide offers step by step instructions that teach you more advanced weaves, including over-under, circular, and bezel wire, among others. You’ll also be able to put your newfound knowledge of these weaves into practice with the projects laid out in Chapter 2.

This book will cover everything needed to successfully complete these projects, from the type of wire you need to the weaves you’ll be using. If you’re not familiar with what is considered to be the beginner
