I love books...all kind of books, I buy a couple books a week some better than others. This book was such a disappointment i had to write my first review. I am new to beading and wanted to make amulet bags and thought this would be a perfect book...well i was wrong! the instructions were vague and never complete. Definately not a book for beginners. Once i learned more about beading i reviewed the book again, and realized the book is worse once i knew what i was doing. You can find similar patterns free on the internet and/or youtube (and actually learn how to do it). I hope the auther has someone who hasn't done her designs review any future books before publishing as not to waste the time and money again for uninformed beader/buyer.

An excellent little book. The patterns are large enough to be easily read. The photographs (17 bags) of the finished works are very nice. Designs range from a simple peace sign and some childlike designs to a Japanese crane (back cover, inside photos are all better than the "tapestry" on back cover) that is absolutely gorgeous and simple enough to complete without stress.

I was excited by the patterns in this book and the information on making an amulet bag, as I have never made one and I wanted to learn with many fun patterns to choose from, and this book fits the bill.
