Creative Beading Vol. 9 is a yearbook of projects from Bead&Button magazine. With a thorough basics section and helpful tips for readers, the book also includes over 75 editor-tested projects from the magazine. Inspiring and easy to follow, Creative Beading Vol. 9 is divided into sections, with projects grouped by technique (single-stitch, multiple-technique, and other techniques). Included is a range of stitching, stringing, wirework, and embroidery projects, plus bead crochet and kumihimo. Readers will also learn about the latest bead shapes and other rising trends in the beading world.
This is one of the best beading books I have ever seen. I really want it for my crafting library but all the copies on ebay are very high (think $50-80). Understandable because it is so well written, well illustrated and the projects are amazing. Beautiful photos, illustrated, clearly written step-by-step instructions and materials lists. I highly recommend this for the intermediate to expert level beader.
