CREATIVE BEAD JEWELRY

In one of the more irreverent and stylish beading books to appear recently, Taylor begins with five questions, one being, "Are beads affecting your financial security?" Regardless of the answer at the outset, many piggy banks might be smashed after peering at the pictures of these 70 projects from 38 bead artists. Taylor prefers to cover bare-bones information and guidance initially, then she builds up the reader's knowledge and confidence by introducing progressively more difficult tasks, methods, and designs. Included are color photographs of results, black-and-white illustrations of techniques, and materials lists.
