Step by Step WIRE JEWELRY magazine

I have been making jewelry for years but never knew how to make wire jewelry, so I picked up an issue of: Step by Step WIRE JEWELRY at my local craft store. Step by Step WIRE JEWELRY is a magazine that is published 4 times a year--spring, summer, fall and winter. There were other magazines and books, but I decided on this because it had instructions to make 13 items of jewelry and they were rated on a scale of 1 to 5. I knew that if I did the 2 items that were marked 1 (beginner), it would be easy to move on to the 4 items marked 2.

One of the things I really liked about this magazine is that they are very descriptive in the instructions regarding tools and supplies. This made it easy for me to make sure I had the proper things on hand before I got started. Along with each step of written instruction they provide a full color picture, making it easy to follow along. Like all magazines, this one also has a lot of ads and I am now occasionally using one of the websites listed, www.firemountaingems.com to buy some of the supplies I need.

About the only complaint I have about Step by Step WIRE JEWELRY is I think they should have more than just 13 items/instructions. I paid $5.99 and I wouldn't mind paying $7.99 if they had 20 or more ideas/instuctions for them.
