15 Beads,
By Christine Saalbach (San Antonio TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 15 Beads: A Guide To Creating One-of-a-kind Beads "Print on Demand Edition" (Paperback)
At last, Jane Dunnewold's stunning design ideas are in full-color print! From afar, I have admired Jane's surface design for many years. Although I have never taken a class from her, her freewheeling style has always inspired me.A few years ago, Jane and SABOS member Renita Kuhn collaborated on an exhibit of wearable art at the Southwest School of Art & Craft. Jane and Renita used embellished cloth to create clothing that glowed with imagination. The main message of the book is to play, as if you were a child, with materials of all sorts. Jane asks you to look at the world around you - the way a tree bends or the texture of a rock. Everything can become a source of ideas for design by their shape, feel, composition, whether the material is stiff or pliable. Craft stores are shunned by many artists and should not be ruled out. They, too, can be a springboard to another idea. Jane's book reminds you of your Kindergarten class. Everyday, found materials can be made into beads. Whether the resource materials were meant to be used to make beads will be of no consequence. You can make beads with them anyhow. Prepare to be surprised!

Not your average bead book--very creative,
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: 15 Beads: A Guide To Creating One-of-a-kind Beads "Print on Demand Edition" (Paperback)
There is enough variety of ideas here to stimulate anyone's creativity. There is a found-object bead (using bits of old buttons or jewelry), folded metal beads, wooden beads wrapped with seed beads, felt beads, polymer clay beads and more. The gallery of bead creations is inspiring. I won't be using all these techniques but a lot of them were breakthrough ideas. A very interesting book.
