Award-winning fibre artist Mary Hettmansperger reveals the secrets of using traditional basketry techniques to create 28 striking pieces of jewellery. It's a new and exciting approach that yields remarkable results - even for beginners. She covers four basic procedures - plaiting, knowtting, looping, and twining - and incorporates materials such as copper, colorful wire, natural fibers, even bottle tops and bark. The array of projects includes soft-fiber necklaces as well as one made from looped linen over a forged silver mold. There's no other book like it, and it's sure to appeal to a diverse range of crafters.
