Metal foil and wire are endlessly versatile materials that can be embossed, pierced, bent, shaped, twisted and plaited. In a range of tones, from gleaming copper to muted gray, and in different thicknesses, their potential for crafting is huge.

The creative possibilities are immediately apparent, and this book shows how to create beautiful home accents using these two fabulously compatible materials. As well as covering basic techniques, it also includes 20 fantastic projects, including a wonderful retro set of pewter coasters, unusual wire mesh lanterns, a brightly-coloured jewellery tree and pretty tea glasses in a holder. Each is explained with step-by-step instructions and there are projects suitable for all standards of skill, from beginner to experienced crafter.
