I used Moods in Wire. Also try wire-sculpture.com. It has some lessons in video you can use for free. After you learn the basics of keeping the wire straight and bindings, the rest is up to you and your creativity. Have fun and don't let the wire beat you!!

Cool Mike. Glad to help. I enjoy using my Moods in Wire book. I think you'll find it easy to understand and you can follow along to make stuff. Then your off with your imagination!
Good Luck, T

Mike, you may also want to search the internet for tutorials. I've seen some before, but don't have any specific links saved. Actually watching someone do it and explaining what they're doing may be better than a book. Most of them are free, too.
