    I E-mailed the author in Denmark and was able to purchase her
    jewelry book  directly. The book is in Danish (you should see
    people's faces when they  notice an Asian-American reading a Danish
    book) and there are a few words  that don't appear in the library's
    Danish dictionary. 

    Now, I don't really need to translate these words because the book
    is well  illustrated. Curiosity is the only reason to ask if any of
    you know these  Danish words: 

   linjer
   handvaerksmaessige
   spjaeld.

    (The a in hand has a circle over it, and wherever you see an ae,
    they're  actually conjoined to make one character.) 

    Examples: 

    "Many times it is the clean and simple [linjer] that give the most
    elegant  results." 

    "This simpler techniques gives better results because it does not
    take  such a long time to become familiar with its
    [handvaerksmaessige]." 

    A project that calls for weaving with silver wiRe: "Make a [spjaeld]
    by  pulling one wire up, the next wire down, the next up, etc., all
    the way  across. Lay the weaver wire across the [spjaeld]. Repeat,
    this time  pulling the down wires up and the up wires down."  A
    weaver would call the  spjaeld a "shed."
