Beginners and seasoned beadworkers alike will be thrilled to discover the 30 fun and stylish bracelets in this creative guide to beading jewelry. Clear, logical directions and easy-to-follow illustrations accompany each project, from simple bead stringing and wire working to more complex macrame, crochet, and off-loom weaving techniques. The flexible binding allows the book to lie flat while beaders work on hand-busying projects.
The awkward format hinders my enjoyment of this tall, skinny book. The designs are nothing earth-shattering, and are mostly too cluttered for my taste. Some of them look like the object was to see how many beads could be stuck on a single project and still have it be wearable. A couple of good technical tips make it worth reading, though.
