Not much help,
By Hate 2 B Ripped Off "PAB" (VIRGINIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Beading (Complete Craft Series) (Hardcover)
When attempting to recreate the garnet cross, the directions made reference to the "illustration" which was simply a photograph and no directions to complete the front of the cross. Unlike other books with Jema Hewitt designs that provide step by step instructions, this book offers very little help. I contacted Jema and asked for the illustration mentioned in the book and was told to "Seek out another crafty person since two heads were better than one". In my opinion, this book is nothing more than several beaders showing just how crafty they are and little to no help in reproducing any of the items. Too bad.
