Customer Reviews

This book has detailed information for beaders.

After reviewing every book I could find, both in bookshops and online, I purchased this book. It contains more than just instructions on beading. It covers the handling of different fabrics, the manner in which beads should be attached, the way beading effects the fabric and the different way large and small beads have to be used to achieve the effect I want in a scarf or article of clothing. The beading patterns were many and the instructions clear with hand drawn pictures for each step. Packed with information, ideas, and lots of pictures for each section this is the book for me. I think this book would be a good addition to any resource library.
