Synopsis

In this book Christine and Sylvie Hooghe guide the reader through the materials, equipment and skills needed to produce eye-catching collections of sparkling crystal beaded jewellery. The themed projects include Venice, Imperial China, the baroque and Edwardian eras, and fruits and flowers. Styles range from the stunning and innovatively modern to richly colourful classic. There is something here for everyone, whether your taste is for a delicately understated necklace, an opulently glistening brooch, or a prettily pink hairslide. The easy-to-follow steps and beautiful photography, with each piece graded from simple to the more complex, will inspire even the beginner to reproduce Christine and Sylvie's designs. And from here imagination is the only limit to creating original jewellery and hair ornaments in your own colour combinations that will make wonderful gifts and keepsakes.
