Book Reviews of Beading with Crystals: Beautiful Jewelry, Simple Techniques

Book Review: Some nice designs, but some are 'over the top'
Summary: 4 Stars

I tend to be partial to more simple, clean designs, so I was a little disappointed in this book. There are some simple designs which are nice, but some are just downright gaudy. Unless you're going the Oscars, I don't know where you'd wear them. This book has quite a bit of stitching work in the projects (which I'm not very good at).

I much prefer M.T. Ryan's book, Glamorous Beaded Jewelry, which has very simple, elegant designs that are more wearable, and more stringing/wire wrapping designs, rather than stitching.

Summary of Beading with Crystals: Beautiful Jewelry, Simple Techniques

Bicones, buttons, drops, rhinestones. Glittering and colorful, these and other multi-faceted glass crystal beads have become the jewelry maker?s material of choice. They?re the star of the show in this sparkling entry in the Beading with series, which features a fabulous combination of both simple and more complex projects. Crafters start their creative journey by learning basic techniques, including stringing and simple wirework (looping, wrapping, coiling). Then they?re ready to start making pieces that range from a necklace of matte metal beads and shimmering crystals to a captivating pair of chandelier earrings. Sophisticated jewelry findings accent the finished pieces, and detailed illustrations make the process easy and successful for beginners.
