4.0 out of 5 stars
practical and inspirational,
By The Magpie (Caerphilly, Mid Glamorgan United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handmade Metal and Wire Greetings Cards (Handmade Greetings Card) (Paperback)
As a person who has tried many crafts over the years and has a large stock of beads and jewellery findings I found this book set me thinking. It has good pictures, clear text and advises on the practical stuff (like how do I get this bit of wire to stick and remain stuck to my card?)It does not overload the reader with instruction but makes suggestions on use of papers and wire to make a more unusual card.It's a small book, but useful to dip into when ideas are running dry and an easy read. It did, however, leave me wishing there was more.

Cards with Charm,
By silver (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handmade Metal and Wire Greetings Cards (Handmade Greetings Card) (Paperback)
A slim book but full of excellent ideas and good illustrations. All the cards are given step by step instructions and every card is a little work of art in its own right. I saw this book on sale in a rather large and well known craft store. It's much cheaper here. Buy it!

It was not what i was expecting.,
By F. R. Lyman "book hunter" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handmade Metal and Wire Greetings Cards (Handmade Greetings Card) (Paperback)
I was so excited about this book because i am a card maker and i was doing my own wire designs and when i saw this book on the market i thought it was going to be amazing, but sadly it is not, the designs are too basic, i can tell that it is even basic for beginners. Sorry!
