Best Bead Book Ever!

I think this is the best bead book that I own. I've learned how to make every stitch I use from this book. Really good instruction drawings and good close up photos. Best hands on instruction for learning on your own!

WONDERFUL INSTRUSTIONS! BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!

I would have liked to give this book a 10 STAR rating. I bought this book not just for the purses BUT for the clear and very easy to follow directions for the weaving! I used the stitches I learned in this book for other projets. I am a visual learner and this book is better than more $$$$ books I bought just to learn the stitches. Color through out. I did not find any of the colors muted as another stated. There are patterns for Brick, Square, Peyote (Which thanks to this book I now can read the patterns!)Netted and square Netting. A very nice Gallery. I intend to write the author.

Excellent Source of Ideas

This is a very beautiful book of techniques and ideas on creating small beaded bags out of seed beads using brick, peyote and straight stitch and embellished with bugle and decorative beads. The book is clearly written with illustrations of all the simple techniques involved and filled with full-color, clear photos of beautiful completed works. In all, a lovely book that should be in every seed beader's library as a source of inspiration.
