Читать книгу Wire-Wrapped Jewelry Techniques - Lora S. Irish - Страница 9

Wire, of course, is the main material needed for any wire-wrapped jewelry project. For the projects and samples in this book, I have used copper wire as the main link wire. A few essential tools are needed to create bent-wire links and to add wire-wrapped accents. A basic toolkit will include wire cutters, straight pliers, round-nose pliers, nylon-grip pliers, and some kind of file; there are also a lot of additional specialty tools that can come in handy. In addition, a variety of beads can add colorful accents to wire-wrapped jewelry. With this collection of basic items, you will be able to make amazing creations. Read on for all the nitty-gritty details about wire, tools, and beads.
