    That's an interesting comment about wirework v wire wrapping George, puts it a bit more into perspective, thanks.

    I've just bought a couple of books from Crystal Phoenix on wire jewellery to get some ideas for my classes. The Jewelry with Wire is reasonably interesting with links made from wire that I haven't seen before. Only 18 pages (i.e. thinner than a magazine) but worth it I think.

    I'd save yourself about £55 and get a copy of Bead on a Wire by Sharilyn Miller

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bead-Wire-Ma...8973912&sr=8-1

    which is about the best starting point I can think of for the aspiring wire and bead jeweller.

    Thanks for everyones comments and to George for clarifying things.
    I've got the book and its a case of practice, practice, practice until I can produce something I'd buy myself.
