Summary: When Fiber Becomes Metal
Comment: Though not the end all, be all of the technique (I wish she'd come out with a good project based how-to book on the subject), you will find tons of inspiration in the gallery and in the descriptions of the basic techniques! For those looking for a way to add to their current jewlery work or jump from textiles to jewelry, you'll find lots of help here.

Summary: A Veritable Encyclopedia of Fiber Techniques for Metal!
Comment: This fascinating book can't be just read and set aside. Instead the reader finds themself sketching designs then working to duplicate the processes described in intricate detail both in print and with photographic illustration.
This book is neither a color-by-numbers insult to the reader's intelligence nor a dry overabstract pretension, but is an eminently readable intermediate level text. It presumes some knowledge of basic metalworking technique but does not overwhelm the reader. The relative lack of specifics regarding techniques of beginning, ending, transition and joining is entirely appropriate for a text which presumes the reader has some prior experiance in basic metal working. I do suggest reading Oppi Untracht first, but that is not be a necessity if one has some hands on experiance.
Whether the interest is knitting, weaving, basketry, knotting or other process, or just the history of the subject, one finds they return again and again to reread and learn more nuances. Surprise! This is one of the classic texts which grows with the reader!

Summary: Inspires new creative ideas and works
Comment: An excellent guide inspiring ideas for both metal sculpture and jewelry. A beautiful, as well as a thoughtful presentation of textile history and techniques adapted for use with metals. The photographs are elegant and eloquent in the information that they alone convey. A remarkable book useful to both students of jewelry techniques and to masters of metal work. Five Stars to Arline Fisch!
