I also have the complete metalsmith on the way and I think I will definately get Oppi's book at some point.<br /><br />Lou :)PeculiarForesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467239460592770084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778544746928298723.post-49649457390220734122009-05-12T09:13:00.000+02:002009-05-12T09:13:00.000+02:00Hello Lou, thank you for passing by and commenting...Hello Lou, thank you for passing by and commenting on my blog! And good books you have there. I've got Tim McCreight's Hot & cold too, and his complete metalsmith (which is one you want to keep close to your bench, I find it very handy). Jinks McGrath's beginner's guide I also have (in Dutch translation). Love the many photos in it, that really helps in figuring out the techniques!<br />And one that was a bit pricey, but totally worth it is Oppi Untracht's Jewelry Concepts & Technology -it's got everything: history & background, techniques, examples from all over the world, contemporary and historical.<br /><br />Keep creating, I love your work!<br />Kristienkristienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689968309307631554noreply@blogger.com
