Creative Beading

Any tips for beginnger’s wire wrapping jewelry?

I’ve been beading bracelets and necklaces for a few years now & would really like to try wire wrapping. What would be a good book or website for the beginner? What tools do I need?

I like the wigjig site–they have all the tools and whatnot needed, plus some really cool idea.
Also, just go to the library and look up wire jewelry–some pretty good books out there, too.
