Nice clear photos of the very opulent finished pieces but I could do without the fussy/fancy backdrops. The stitch diagram graphics are full-color and very legible. The author does have one of the best explanations and diagrams of cubic right angle weave (CRAW) that I've come across so that was worth it for me! The only project that I flagged to try is the Kayla Lariat because of the gorgeous St. Petersburg leaves. Interesting pieces and good tips, probably not for a beginner as these projects are pretty bead-intense.
