Fashionable Beading Projects,
This review is from: Discover Beading (Paperback)
The beading projects in "Discover Beading" address three main areas: Stringing, Wirework and Knotting. First you learn about all the fun tools and materials you need to make the jewelry and then the basic techniques, like crimping, opening and closing loops and making jump rings is shown with step-by-step pictures.
The Jewel tone bracelets are especially easy to make and can be worn for any occasion. The fancier pendant necklace is gorgeous and especially pretty with an icy blue stone and alternating silver and crystal beads. The necklaces can be made for any season and suggestions are given with each project. One of the most beautiful projects shown is a Lapis lazuli bracelet and earrings. The Sparkling blue crystals also create a gorgeous monochromatic necklace. ~The Rebecca Review

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discover Beading (Paperback)
Drawn from 'Bead & Button' and 'BeadStyle' magazines, "Discover Beading: Stringing, Wirework, Knotting" is an impressive and highly recommended collection of projects using basic, beginner-friendly beading techniques to create stunning bracelets, lovely necklaces, striking earrings, macrame chokers, and more. Ideal for the novice beader, specific attention is directed to detail and an emphasis on using high-quality materials is stressed. "Discover Beading" is especially and specifically recommended for the novice craft maker wanting clear, illustrated, step-by-step instructions which will ultimate serve to prepare them to take on ever more elaborate beading-based jewelry making projects. Also very highly recommended for crafts enthusiasts is Kalmbach's "Polymer Pizzazz: 27 Great Polymer Clay Jewelry Projects".
