A great book for beginners. Super photos! Reviewer: A reader from Long Island, New York August 29, 1999 This book has multipage spreads on every imaginable type of bead--by material, color, and style--accompanied by exquisite photographs. It also tells you how to rejuvenate jewelry. My favorite section is "Techniques," at the back of the book. It has clear photographs (not sloppy drawings like some books) of findings and equipment, plus basic instructions for making earrings, necklaces, etc., as well as beading on fabric. There are books that go into greater detail on technique, but for someone like me who wants to comprehend the full range of beads and materials available, plus basic how-to, it's terrific! A book to keep and refer to again and again! Reviewer: A reader from Sutton Coldfield, England June 24, 1999 This IS a textbook, in a way. Great reference material for those new to beads and beading - beautifully photographed with lots of information both on all types of beads and also findings and simple techniques. I keep dipping into this one and still find something new. Beautiful illustrations but not terribly helpful. Reviewer: A reader from Chicago, Illinois September 10, 1998 Beautiful illustrations and fun to look at but only some of the jewelry includes instructions to recreate. I found the book to be a disappointment in my continual pursuit to try to create beautiful and unique jewelry. It almost seemed like more of a textbook on beads then instructive. A beautiful and informative book Reviewer: A reader from Chicago June 12, 1998 This is the book that got me interested in beads and jewelry making many years ago--and I still go back to it. It covers types of beads, while giving some history, and then goes into styles of beaded jewelry. The last part describes what you need to make jewelry and gives some design ideas. Also interesting is a section on recycling old jewelry. Experienced beaders may find it too simplistic, but overall, it is a wonderful introduction to the world of beads.
