Great book, easy to read, good pictures and explanations that are clear and easy to use. This book is especially good for the beginning beader or the intermediate beader wanting to try some different types of techniques but unsure of the direction. Great recommendation to use for a recycling materials bead class.

Since the title says "...from ordinary material", I thought that the author would show the reader various materials for making beads like clay, etc. Intstead it was mostly paper and string. It was interesting, but I was a bit disappointed.
