Book Overview
The sight of a show-stopping flame-worked or finely detailed metal bead will enchant any jewelry lover--and any of these 24 stunning designs would make the perfect setting to display that unique and beautiful bead. Select from five simple stringing and nineteen bead weaving projects, all using popular techniques such as the free-peyote stitch and Dutch spiral. A thorough basics section provides enough hand-holding for even the most intimidated beginner, and every project features an illustration of the entire piece plus an additional detail shot. For something easy, just attach a lovely flower-shaped bead to a leather cord for a chic necklace--or make shimmering faux lariats with oversized glass beads and elaborate multiwoven strands with lapis and a big silver slider.

One is the perfect number
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
One Big Beautiful Bead is a great book for those of you who have one gorgeous, bead that say you got in Venice, Italy and want to somehow show-off on that perfect necklace but want to make sure to get it right. The ideas are perfect for framing that bead and her work with polymer clay is truly impressive.

I love the work that has been done in this book - especially the bee-u-tiful polymer clay beads by Susan Pickle. Her work is amazing. Many people in the polymer clay 'world' would have to go a long way to be able to match art as great as this. I thoroughly recommend this book!
