Textile Techniques in Metal
Textile Techniques in Metal: For Jewelers, Textile Artists & Sculptors
This book, by Arline Fisch, is one of my favorite jewelry books of all time, and was one of the first non-bead jewelry books I owned. It inspired me to learn how to knit and crochet so that I could try knitting and crocheting wire. It also inspired me to learn more about needle lace, basketweaving, and fiber arts in general. In addition to discussion of many techniques that can be adapted to metal, there is a very inspiring gallery section in the back.
Fisch has a new book out on crocheted jewelry, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I'll post a review once I've gotten the chance to read it.
