One is the perfect number

One Big Beautiful Bead is a great book for those of you who have one gorgeous, bead that say you got in Venice, Italy and want to somehow show-off on that perfect necklace but want to make sure to get it right. The ideas are perfect for framing that bead and her work with polymer clay is truly impressive.

Beautiful Bead Book

I love the work that has been done in this book - especially the bee-u-tiful polymer clay beads by Susan Pickle. Her work is amazing. Many people in the polymer clay 'world' would have to go a long way to be able to match art as great as this. I thoroughly recommend this book!
