Beadwork magazine's special issues were mined for this collection of more than 50 elegant and trendy designs from past years along with the debut of ten new projects, all from the Beadwork design team. The book begins with a technique tutorial—Stringing 101—that introduces the stringing tricks of the trade used to create these pieces; lessons extend to even more methods, such as crimping and adding jump rings and clasps, with some insider design tips. Photographs, illustrations, and instructions walk beaders of all levels through designs like the Water Nymph Bracelet, Superstar Lariat, and Purple Power Cuff. Reviewing the elements and focusing on design, this diverse workbook allows beaders to simply follow the instructions or go where the imagination leads.

Lovely Designs, And Packed with Great Inspiration!,

This review is from: Stringing Style (Paperback)
I find that buying a new jewelry book is like taking a chance on a blind date: sometimes you want to call it a night at 6:00, and other times you want to linger and just totally enjoy the experience you are having...and then relive the whole thing as soon as possible!I found this book by Jamie Hogsett to be a great date! First of all, for beginning jewelry makers, she has covered all the types of beads, and included photos. I enjoyed this part and learned a few new things, for example: what tools the Karen hill tribe use to make their silver beads. I didn't know how they made their beads! How fascinating! After that, she covers a variety of things such as types of findings, crimping, and--thank you Jamie!--how to make seed beed loops for button clasps. My former nemesis. Then come the projects: some cool bracelets, and, more thoroughly covered, a series of breathtakingly photographed and laid out full page bracelets and necklaces in beautiful variety. All with the sources listed, so you can easily access the things you might need to make a necklace or bracelet you find appealing. All with GREAT DIRECTIONS! Who are you today? You will find yourself in here, I bet. I was attracted to "Purple Power Cuff", and "Botanic Garden" right off the bat, but there are so many lovely winners... and that is just me, for today! I can't WAIT for my next "date" with STRINGING STYLE!
