Good Ideas and illustrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This was an excellent book, and I definitely recommend it. There are wonderful colored illustrations, and interesting, stylish beaded projects for all levels and ages. The only complaint I have about this book is that it requires some special wire-working tools for some of the projects, like a wire jig.
