The Best Little Beading Book: Techniques and More: A Practical Guide for Beadlovers

I am a novice at jewelry making and found this book to have everything I need to know. It is exact with diagrams for assistance, where needed. My only problem was that I couldn't always find things from the index in the back, otherwise, WOW!

I have used this book to teach myself how to bead! Excellent for someone interested in learning how to bead without taking tons of classes.

I always recommend this book to people who are starting out into beading. One of my first beading books ever and still one of my favorites. It has a great scope and I found it to be inspiring and educational.

The book contains projects with full instructions and illustrations, plentiful notes on basic and advanced techniques from simple head-pin earrings to strand-knotting to peyote stitch, and a generous selection of color photos. (Best of all, it's spiral-bound so it lies flat!) The author takes care to point out how basic techniques can be combined and varied once mastered; this book has something to teach both beginner and skilled craftsperson. Anyone who does beadwork, stringing, or beadweaving should have this book nearby. I pick it up more often than all my other beadwork books put together
