5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, fun and fabulous, August 28, 2004

This review is from: Beadwork Creates Beaded Beads (Paperback)
BeadWork has created a number of these slim books with tempting pictures and tightly edited instructions. With Beaded Beads, even the beginning beader can have a lot of fun creating usable pieces in a short time.
Jean Campbell deserves a lot of credit for keeping the information to just the facts. Occasionally, one more diagram would be useful, but I'm a slow learner without lots of pictures. The beginner should know that there are two help sections in the back of the book--'Tips' and 'Stitches'.
The sections are a real plus. With these instructions, even a novice bead addict can produce the beads shown, and advanced beaders can move on from these instructions to create their own work.
New projects start on the right page, with the glorious picture on the left. Great layout, type you can read, and a wide variety of projects make this a book you need for your studio. Only change I'd make it to wire-bind the book so that it lies flat when in use. --Q

4.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR A BEGINER, Still a NICE book 3 & 1/2 Stars, October 16, 2005

This review is from: Beadwork Creates Beaded Beads (Paperback)
The Color throughout the book is inspiring But as I have found with other books by Jean Campell is that she seems to take it for granted anyone who picks up her book is already an experenced beader. I had to put her books away till I DO become someone who can do as she expects. I do not get her magazine for this reason. No clear instructions for a "dummy" like me.
If you do know your beadwork and can follow instructions easily then you will like this book. She does have a chapter of instructions But What I find helpful is pictures of actual hands doing the work "step by step" There are a few magazines that do this and I catch on much faster.
