Making Beaded Jewellery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book has chapters for using just about any type of bead you can find. Nothing too hard here, mostly stringing, but the way the author mixes beads together in each project and also the large pictures really inspired me. I made the plaited evening necklace and it is gorgeous. The only thing I wish was different about this book is that there is a picture at the beginning of each chapter with several necklaces and bracelets in it and then the following pages tell how to make them, and sometimes I'm not sure which picture goes with which directions, but overall a good book that I have used a lot for many years.
