Jewelry making and Beading for Dummies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I checked out 50 jewelry making books from the library and this is one of only three that I decided I wanted to purchase for my personal book collection. It covers a huge amount of information in detail as well as giving good outside sources to go to for further instruction. This book has been a great resource for me and I highly recommend it for both beginers and more experienced jewelry makers.

Best basic book I have seen to date...

Very impressed with this book--wish I had had a copy when I first started beading decades ago. Clear instructions written in a pleasant and relaxed manner. I am most impressed with many of the very numerous tips provided that come only after a great deal of experience creating, making and marketing beaded items. If I had to have just ONE basic beading book, this would be it.
Informative, Witty & Fun

Heather's use of humor and wit made this book very easy to read. I love the illustrations and found them to be useful. I have used the book for a quick reference and for detailed how-to instructions. I am inspired and ready to get beading!
