Variety of projects and ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I am a beginner when it comes to beading. I'm still working to find the "style" of beading that I like best. This particular book shows a number of jewelry styles and techniques - making wire jewelry, using clay beads, using real thread in jewelry (instead of beading wire), creating jewelry that looks more "professional" (more like what you see in stores) and bead weaving. The author also includes a number of other applications for beading - from dressing up flower pots to adding style to shoes. I enjoyed this book for its variety of techniques and projects. I think it's a good beginner book because it exposes the reader to so many different beading styles and applications.
