Book Reviews of Creating Lampwork Beads for Jewelry

Book Review: A great launching place for bead and jewelry designers!
Summary: 5 Stars

Karen has written a wonderful book that walks you through several jewelry projects via easy to understand directions with excellent photos. This book is unique in that it shows the reader how to make a lampwork bead -- step by step -- and then walks the reader through how to create a necklace or bracelet that is the perfect showcase for the bead. I think this book is an excellent addition to any jewelry designer and/or lampworker's library. The ideas contained within it have so many applications! It's a terrific book!
