The Campbell book is excellent. I bought it years ago, intending to
play around with hairwork, and didn't-- but it explains the process
very very well indeed.
The main issue is obtaining parts-- chain ends, fastenings, and
jewelry findings. I never put the time into that part of things.

Hi Lisa,
I don't know whether it's exactly what you had in mind, but Lacis
publishes a reprint of an 1875 book called The Art of Hair Work by
Mark Campbell (shown here: http://lacis.com/catalog/). It mainly
seems to involve the different types of braid you can make.
