2.0 out of 5 stars Time has passed it by, January 24, 2001

This review is from: The Beaded Jewelry for a Wedding Book (Paperback)

In the four years since this book was published, beading as a craft and art has made huge leaps forward. The speed of advancing talent is pushed by avid dedication of beaders and advances in bead technology (the uniformity of delicas and the variety of finishes and colors, for example.) Leaps like these left this book behind. This is a simple book that helps beaders achieve simple projects. There is almost a naive, "let's get married on the front porch" appeal to the beadwork.

If today's bride is a beader, she wants to showcase her talents with impressive pieces. The bride who is not a beader will pass over these projects as not being elegant enough for a wedding day.

Beginning beaders might want to try beading on memory wire or stringing fresh water pearls, both are projects in this book. But there are other beginning books that provide more information and a better foundation.

I just bought this book and I find it totally useless. The beading is just stringing on one line, nothing more. For bridal patterns I was expecting a lot more!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I'd Expected, August 13, 2000

This review is from: The Beaded Jewelry for a Wedding Book (Paperback)

When I ordered this book, I was hoping it would have lots of pictures. It has about 4 pages of color photos. The rest of the book is instructions on making the items shown on the color pages. While the items shown are lovely, this book was disappointing for me since it didn't deliver what I'd hoped it would.
