Hello!
I was wondering if the Copper Wire Jewlry book only focused on contemporary designs, or does it review historical ones as well?
I think add and mixing metal bases to jewelry creats an exciting visual douet with the beads!
thanks for posting some info about the new book.
Ooh - more free goodies :o) If I enter them all, maybe one of the goodies will be mine...But, I love working with copper and am getting into doing more with wire, so I would love to get this book for free...Otherwise, I will just have to buy it :o)
I would love to have a chance at the book! It looks beautiful!

Would LOVE to have this book. My friend Deb has it and she has learned a lot from it. Thanks also for the giveaway links!
Glass Goddess, it focuses on contemporary designs. They seem to be inspired and have the feel of tribal or older designs, but they are not historic in nature.
That is one hell of a giveaway! Always been interested in the copper look, but haven't had the nerve to try it until recently. I made a lampwork bead that went perfectly with copper chain, and now, I'm hooked on copper jewellery!
