Inspiring design book for amulet bag beadwork and jewelry

I love this book; the patterns cover a variety of nature from hummingbirds to geese and even a mountain. There's something for everyone and Barbara rates the patterns for difficulty. Her instructions are plain; her patterns are beautiful. I can't wait for the sequel. She just keeps getting better and is accessible by e-mail. I asked a question and she answered promptly. It doesn't get better than that.
This is a must have book for beaders!

I love Elbe's books, they are very easy to follow and contain many patterns for the money. This book has some wonderful hummingbird patterns for brick stitch pouches as well as fringe ideas. It contains 10 different pouches and other interesting things.

The artist of this book,Barbara Elbe, takes you into that dimmension of Beadwork that you wanted to go to and couldn't find before. Easy to follow instructions ,graphs and photos. Each amulet bag pattern was pure heaven to create and appreciated by the beader, the wearer, and the observer.Also,the many diversified stitches for the different patterns taught me what I would have never learned from just one small book. This is a must have for anyone who loves beads, espescially Delicas! I would buy any following book of hers sight unseen. I see Ms.Elbe as my bead mentor. An Artist with incredible insight for detail, and exhibits her love for birds,and animals as well as scenery such as 'The Village'.
Back to Beadin' is a definite "must have" for all beaders.

With the easy to follow graphs and instructions, Back to Beadin' is the perfect book for all beaders from beginning to advanced levels. The excellent color charts allow you to easily make bead substitutions, if you so prefer. I have made several of the projects from this book and found that the graphs and instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to make an exceptional piece of beadwork.
