Book Reviews of Beadwork Creates Jewelry: 40 Beaded Designs (Beadwork Creates series)

Book Review: This book will tempt you to get beading ASAP
Summary: 5 Stars

I have done a few beaded projects: I tried bead knitting a small bag and I made a really stunning tomato pincushion with beaded crochet. This book covers those techniques in the glossary/instructions in the back, but the main focus is on various beading techniques to make really beautiful jewelry.

Most of the jewelry are bands of woven beading, using needles and various seed beads such as Japanese seed beads, Miyukis, Delicas and bicone crystals, for example. But there are also semi-precious stone beadwork mixed with beads and silver tubes (Heishi) and so forth. The book is divided into bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings. The stitches involved are peyote, brick, right angle weaving, bead embroidery, crochet, stringing and wire work. Quite an assortment of techniques.

The beaded rings were quite interesting; most of the time, we expect to see anything but a ring in beading. However, the "scrunchie" ring done with elastic and heishi metal beads and Swarovski crystals looks like a project that a crafter might find just the thing to get into beading.

The necklaces include a stunning pearl net choker and a one-to-many strand necklace that looks like ones you see made by famous costume jewelry designers.

Ther are 40 projects in this book, enough to keep the most avid beader busy for hours, and all of the projects looked like something you'd wear fashionably, i.e, not-home-made looking
