4.0 out of 5 stars I'm waiting for French Flower Beading II!, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: French Beaded Flowers I: A Guide for Beginners (Paperback)

I have searched libraries and book stores everywhere and have not found an updated tutorial on this Victorian craft. The only books available are 40 years old! Thank You, Helen McCall! She has provided simple, beginners projects that won't take forever to finish. My only complaint is that the book is way too short!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great French beaded flowers starter!, October 4, 2001

Hungry Beader - See all my reviews

This review is from: French Beaded Flowers I: A Guide for Beginners (Paperback)

While some folks have said they had a bit of trouble with the directions here, I found them very easy to understand and use. Her diagrams on the basic techniques are clear and helpful, and the several patterns I've done so far have worked up beautifully. I also liked that her patterns are for full (albeit small) arrangements -- some beaded flower patterns out there are for single flowers, and it's fun to create a whole mini-arrangement instead! (They make GREAT gifts, too!)

The title of the book suggests she plans to release others -- and I can't wait for them!

If you've been dying to try French beaded flowers, and can't find (or bear to pay $$$ for!) any of the old 1970's out of print "bibles" of this craft, this is a great way to get started!

3.0 out of 5 stars SHORT! This item is just 32 Pages!, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: French Beaded Flowers I: A Guide for Beginners (Paperback)

Useful and simple, a thin booklet about how to string beaded flowers on wire. Geared to different arrangements/different varieties of flowers.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok . . .
This is an ok book, but the directions are fairly confusing. Other than that, it's an good book.
