4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Projects, January 29, 2003

I really love this book. It is packed full of fun and whimsical projects. Diagrams are pretty small, however, which makes them a little hard to read. There are projects for all levels-- a real novice to more experienced beaders. A few things, like the animals, for example, require a very small amount of a large selection of different beads but the designs lend themselves well to using whatever you have on hand.

This review is from: The World of Beads (Paperback)

I read the reviews on this book and thought it would be great- but I don't like the way it is set up, pictures first and then directions in the second half of the book. I also think the directions could be written better- they can be a little bit confusing. I am going to get another book on this subject beacause this one isn't very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is absolutely wonderful, January 9, 2007

My daughter loved the Klutz, "Beadlings" book. I looked forever for something similar. This is the only book I found similar to the books from Japan I used to buy as a child to make little beaded critters.

If you need detailed instructions or do not have seed beed experience this book is NOT for you. It is more intermediate to advanced, but the projects are wonderful.
