About this title

Review:

"The presentation is highly visual, with full-color photographs and illustrations throughout to complement the instructions. VERDICT: Novice jewelry-makers in need of a visual guide to basic beadwork techniques will be drawn to this work."
--Library Journal

"New to beading or want to learn a different technique? Then this is a great book to start with. Jean teaches you the basics of stringing, wirework, and beadwork, along with a section on findings, tools, and working with color. Using many photos and step-by-step instructions, each technique is described in detail and follows with several projects from guest designers. This is also a great book to use as a reference to brush up on techniques you may not use often."
--Bead & Button
