The 18 major projects all come with full step-by-step illustrated instructions, and there are inspirations throughout the book - looking at adapting the bauble designs to fit diferently sized baubles; colour suggestions; taking your favourite design elements and turning them into pieces of jewellery ...
Beads & Beyond (December 2010) called it a 'fabulous new book ... clear step-by-step instructions ...featuring beautiful photography and basics for beginners this book is a must for any beader!'
Robbie Overby - California, USA - emailed us to say 'My book arrived today - I cannot believe how wonderful it is!!!!!!!!! The pictures are alive with color and the patterns seem easy to follow.......I cannot wait to make all of them. Thank you so much for putting this together! It is really a treasure. I hope the rest of the US gets a chance to own one because it's better than any of the books published here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
