5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Color & Challenges, February 24, 2003

This review is from: Out On A Loom : Instructions and 15 Patterns for Loom Bead Weaving (Paperback)

If you're interested in doing beadwork on a loom, here's a place to start.

It has quick and simple instructions for looming mini-tapestries, bracelets, and split loom necklaces. But that's not the beauty of this lovely book, the patterns are. From the simple Stars & Swirls Forever bracelet to the Tranquility tapestry with its gathered thread work, you can then tackle the Floral Fantasy and Owl Flight split loom necklaces. All colors are given with the Delica color number and approximate grams needed.

This is a beautiful book of patterns with full-color pictures of each finished project. I would suggest this one for a beader with some experience in looming.

I bought this book based on a mention in a beading magazine. The patterns are very beautiful and the instructions are clear. It's a good buy for someone starting to loom (like me).
