Product Description

Product Description
Award-winning fibre artist Mary Hettmansperger reveals the secrets of using traditional basketry techniques to create 28 striking pieces of jewellery. It's a new and exciting approach that yields remarkable results - even for beginners. She covers four basic procedures - plaiting, knowtting, looping, and twining - and incorporates materials such as copper, colorful wire, natural fibers, even bottle tops and bark. The array of projects includes soft-fiber necklaces as well as one made from looped linen over a forged silver mold. There's no other book like it, and it's sure to appeal to a diverse range of crafters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspires to using new techniques, 12 Jul 2007
By K. Johansson (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book after having it recommended to me. And I'm not disappointed. To be true, it was not exactly what I thought it would be. But I did enjoy it. I've learnt many new techniques and enjoy the mix of metal and fiber.

Somewhat more than half the project use fiber, including raffia and black ash etc, and the rest wire. The projects, in my opinion, are not as interesting as the techniques used. To me this is a book on techniques, not on designs. I most probably won't try any of the specific projects in the book. Although they are fairly good examples of what can be made in the line of woven jewelry. There is also a good mix of styles being used so while some projects feel a bit similar, there's still enough variation to show different ways of using the same technique.

But the lack of inspirational designs in the project part is compensated by the great gallery in the end of the book. Approximatly 15 metal wire and 12 fiber projects are featured. And as the main part of the book inspires the use of textile techniques, the gallery gives inspiration in the process of going from technique to an actual piece of jewelry. And hopefully also in the process of finding your own style.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to use basketry in jewellery !, 1 Feb 2007
By agama (Poland) - See all my reviews
I would recommend it to anyone interested in new techniques. Focuses on basketry techniques like plaiting, coiling, knotting, looping and twining. Each chapter contains a guidebook with tips followed by interesting projects and their illustrations. The instructions are clear but not each step is shown in a picture. There is also basic information about tools, equipment and materials and a gallery of nice art pieces.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Inspirational Book for C&G Creative Crafts Students , 18 Mar 2008
By M. Souza (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I had this book as inspiration before. I bought this book because I am interested in off-loom weaving techniques but the techniques can be applied to crafts other than weaving or costume jewellery.
Good eye-candy too!
Some reviews say that there is not enough step-by-step pictures of the techniques but the ones in there were enough for me as I am not a beginner in weaving and have other books on the subject but I think it would be enough for a beginner also to have some fun trying some of the techniques.
Jewellery purists may find it not very refined as the metalwork techniques are very basic but it is certainly very creative with a healthy mix of organic fibres and metal and you can feel the love put into each piece. It is not a cold, metal-only, matter of fact, soulless book by any means.

As long as you accept that the term jewellery (or jewelry) is used loosely then you can really enjoy learning the basketry techniques of this book. Read more
