My new favorite bead book!,
By
This review is from: Embeadery (Paperback)
I received "Embeadery" a few days ago and am very impressed. The book is longer than I expected and it's packed with information from beginning to end. The writing style is conversational and the font is easy to read.
The book is very well-organized, making it easy to look for specific stitches or techniques. The diagrams are clear and easy to follow and there is a section of very good color photos showing each technique described. This book is easy enough to understand that I'd recommend it to a beginner, but it also has information that is useful to someone who has been working with beads for a while. "Embeadery" is now the first book I'd recommend to someone asking about learning to use beads as embellishment and I can't wait to see what else Ms. Ball comes up with in this series.

Excellent,
By Mikasa "Bead Artist" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Embeadery (Paperback)
I have been beading for almost 40 years and own hundreds of bead/craft books. This is the most comprehensive, concise book I have ever owned. Worth well more than its price, I believe that this book will become the bible of bead embroidery. Packed with drawings and illustrations, color photos of each stitch in the back of the book, and instructions written so well that even a beginning beader/embroiderer will be able to master each technique, I know that I will refer back to this book many times. My congratulations to Ms. Ball for a job well done!

One of the best beading books I have seen yet,
By fabricaddict (western australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Embeadery (Paperback)
This is a very informative book, full of great pictures, diagrams and helpful tips. The author has gone to a lot of trouble to make sure the reader understands the principals of basic beading and embroidery.. I highly recomend this book for both beginers and advanced beaders alike. You will not regret this purchase one bit.
