Beadwork Creates Bracelets

UPDATE: The second copy of Beadwork Creates Bracelets was actually the bracelet book! The first order has the wrong cover on it from the printer. It is actually Beadwork Creates Necklaces (not bracelets). There are two covers one behind the other - front says Bracelets and inside is says Necklaces. The contents are all different necklaces. Gave this copy to Goodwill.

While there are a few duds here (I don't really need directions to "design" a charm bracelet; it's a plain link bracelet with charms attached.) this book has given me inspirations galore. A woman wanted to purchase the first bracelet I made from it right off my arm! Even after using it for a few years I still go back for ideas. In fact, I've noticed that "new" designs I've seen elsewhere recently have just been minor modifications of those in this book. I guess they've become classics! It's a must for anyone who enjoys the quick satisfaction of a bracelet, or any beader looking for the best of the best from Beadwork magazine.

Nice photos, beautiful patterns - but instructions are hard to follow if you are a novice beader. If you are looking for a variety of new patterns, however, it is a good book to have.
