4.0 out of 5 stars 80 PAGES OF COOL DESIGNS!, September 20, 2005

By	Judy R. Hanson "RubyStandingDEER" (Broomfield, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is in black and white, a minor problem for just doing the designs off the pages. But I solved that problem by coloring them in. There are 3-5 designs on most of the pages, not all really Native beadwork but well worth the price for ALL the designs for LOOMERS! It is hard anymore to find a book with so many loom ideas and this one is FILLED with them. Ther are a few small mistakes in a couple patterns but nothing worth complaining about. This is not an instruction book! Be warned you need to know how to do beadwork to use this book. Photo copy the pages so you can work on colors of your own choosing other than the ones offered if you don't like the combinations. It is a book you can get use out of for years!
