Couldn’t get this book to dowload properly on my tablet, so am sorry I can’t give a very formative review. From what little I could see, it looks like it has some fun projects!

I'm going to be completely honest, when I downloaded this book onto my kindle I'd misread the title and thought this was wine art, not wire art haha. So I fired this book up on my kindle fully expecting some art projects involving wine bottles and corks and such, but was pleasantly surprised by my mistake!

This book was really fun, and I can't wait to try out some of the projects. I especially loved the flowers and also the wire art in the frames. I feel like this is an artform that even I can do haha.

My only complaint is that the numberings were jumbled on my kindle edition, but I'm not sure if that's just because my kindle is a dinosaur.

In this clear and concise book, you will learn how to make beautiful and simple wire decorations and gifts. With all the information on tools and materials as well as patterns and guides, this book is all you need to get started!

I love the variety of projects in this book, with some being five minute affairs, which you can pop out when you need a last minute gift or card, and some being larger scale projects to really sink your teeth into.

I think the book is beautifully put together, with well drawn illustrations and lovely photographs. There are some designs you will have seen before, and some very inventive ideas which will spur you on to coming up with your own special projects. I would highly recommend this to crafty people and people who are excited to decorate their lives with unique DIY pieces.

"Easy Wire Art" by Susanne Schaadt is a fun and creative little book on the "emerging" wire art phenomenon. Her easy-to-follow guide has interesting projects from a bird cage to an inkwell and quill. These are quirky and clever creations to try out as a launching pad to making art works of your imagination.

There are twenty-one stylish and decorative projects to try out that would make beautiful gifts for a birthday or Christmas, or as a fancy furnishing for your own dwelling or as a housewarming present.

The guide instructs the artist in types of wire, how to get the wire fixed in a certain position, and ways to mount, hang, or assemble the creations for better utility.

My only qualm is that these beautiful "sculptures" only lead to me wanting more. I feel like after reading through, I felt a bit disappointed, "that's it?!" This is a great starting point for this new art form for any aspiring artist or crafter.

I received this as an eBook from Fox Chapel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the title. I did not receive any compensation from either company. The opinions expressed herein are completely my own.

Regrets, I have a few… and now one of them is that I got rid of my craft wire, after failing to make anything decent with it
Susanne Schaadt’s Easy Wire Art gives clear instructions on making clean and contemporary home décor using wire. The bird cage on the cover is a real stand-out, but there are many simpler projects including flowers, fruit and the ubiquitous flamingo.
I think I’m ready to give wire another try.

This is my kind of craft book! Fun things to make, with easy step-by-step instructions and pictures to guarantee success.
This book is a must for anyone who wants to make their own home art.... perfect for impressive gifts as well!

I genuinely never thought about crafting with wire. It has always seemed a bit unmanageable or too utilitarian but this book has given me some great ideas. From using it to make baby mobiles and free-standing art to unusual cards it has really opened up the avenue for a whole new type of craft. Lovgely.

Easy Wire Art: How to Make 21 Stylish & Decorative Projects is a tutorial guide for dimensional wire sculpting. Due out 13th Aug 2019 from Fox Chapel, it's 80 pages and will be available in paperback format.

There aren't a lot of beginner accessible non-jewelry oriented metal sculpting tutorial books out there. This book addresses a basic need in 'niche' crafting and arts. The included projects in this book are appealing and structurally stable. The included projects are appealing and easily adapted to include beads or other found objects for even more versatility.

The book's introductory techniques, tools and materials sections comprise ~12% of the page content followed by the 21 tutorial chapters. Each of the tutorials include a materials sidebar, basic instructions and information, and templates for wire bending. The book also includes an index as well as a table of contents which includes a gallery listing of the tutorials.

The included designs are very simple and whimsically appealing. The materials are inexpensive and easily sourced. The author has included a number of coordinated finishing/display techniques such as hanging stands and wall art.

Four stars.

This book is brilliant!! I have to say I would happily make all of the 21 projects in the book.

The projects are fun, simple but effective , original, unique and stylish.
I really cant praise it enough, this is a book I will be buying for myself and as a gift for family and friends.

I will also be making all of these projects for our own house and as gifts .

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is an introductory book on the art of wire crafting,specifically shaping wire into creative shapes to use in pictures, on cards, in vases and as standalone sculptures. The technique are carefully explained with full color step by step photographs. There are 21 projects with easy to follow instructions and lots of inspiration to create your own projects. The is a useful and practical book that will teach the basics of wirecraft.

Love this, a great start in using wire to make funky pieces of art. These are rather cute and simply ways of manipulating wire for beginners, having gained some confidence with these, I can see going on to bigger and greater things with the addition of larger gauge or rusty wire and adding other materials to create some very worthy art.
The information is good and the diagrams helpful, the project processes through simple to things which require more effort. Love the bird cage.

This book offers some very unique decoration ideas using wire art. While there is an explanation about tools used, etc., I am not sure I would recommend it to someone who is a complete novice. Following the patterns could be a little tricky at first. I really want to make the flamingos as gifts this year.

This was a good book if you are looking to make wire art for home decor. There are some 2D designs that allow you to mount and frame, and some 3D shapes to make as accent pieces. There is good instruction for which way to start and how to make the turns, I think this is very helpful when looking at wire pieces. I wish there were more small items with tighter wraps to make into wearable art, but I suppose that is another book altogether.


Overall this is a decent book for the types of projects displayed,

I downloaded the kindle file and it was missing pictures, scattered and generally unreadable. The pdf worked fine though.
