Dear Arachnes, Funny, but I don't remember seeing this book featured in any lace bulletins. "Crocheted Wire Jewelry" By Arline M. Fisch Lark Books Distrib. in Canada by Sterling Distrib. in UK by GMC Distrib. Svcs. Distrib. in Australia by Capricorn Link ISBN 13: 978-1-57990-660-3 Cover price $25 US, 2005, hard cover If you go to any major book store in the US today, you will find much shelf space devoted to beads and other glittery techniques. In fact, I found additional books that were much too crafty for my taste. Everything presented in this book is sophisticated. The cover photo is of a very striking hairpin-crochet neckpiece, by the author. You may crochet with wires of brass, silver, gold, stainless steel, soft iron (stove wire) and nioblum. The crochet designs are illustrated in full color and the step-by-step instructions for making are very detailed, with all projects by leading artists (presumably, Fisch's students). If you enjoy working with wire, you may enjoy and learn from this book and perhaps find ways to use a crochet hook to enhance your other metal laces. The author's previous book "Textile Techniques in Metal" (1996) was very favorably reviewed on Arachne. She is a jeweler and professor of art whose work is in collections in the USA (Smithsonian), England (V&A), Japan, Australia. Would be interested to know if anyone has crocheted lace from this book.
