Book Overview
Beaders everywhere--from rank beginners to top-level artists--are discovering the extraordinary creative potential and pleasure of a seemingly simple craft: making unique, one-of-a-kind beads from existing beads themselves. This lushly illustrated guide offers them a blast of inspiration, with 40 fabulous designs from some of today's finest beadwork artists. Ranging from understated to pure dazzling glam, these projects showcase a range of innovative techniques. Among the standouts: a peyote-stitched Tetrahedron Beaded Bead that can be produced in varying sizes; a Peek-A-Boo Bead, using steel nuts from the hardware store; and a cylinder-shaped Piata Bead, decorated with smaller beads resembling tiny, colorful party balloons. Detailed instructions and photos make the crafting easy, and there's encouragement for readers eager to incorporate their own design ideas. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

Positives: 1.Great beading charts for the seed bead ones, 2.A range of techniques explored 3. Some ugly duds, but one person's dud is another person's focal point beauty, Not too much exploration of color in beadwork, but a useful book for beaders. It is good for beginners who want to learn three dimensional techniques.
The Art of the Beaded Bead

I learned to make a beaded bead from a friend and for a while did just what I learned. But I yearned for more ways to make beaded beads. I'll never forget the day another friend brought this book to show me. We were ordering lunch when she brought it out and needless to say I hardly ate my lunch at all. It was like opening a whole new world to the Beaded Bead. I use this book almost every day for one bead or another and continue to learn more and more about the wonderful world of Beaded Bead. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who want to learn something different to do with beads and have a book that continues to teach you more every time you look at it
