The listing, ****BEADING FOR THE FIRST TIME**** has ended.
This is a wonderful book for beginning to intermediate beaders. The 18 projects cover techniques from basic stringing to needlepoint, peyote, brick stitch, loom work, and more! There are projects for wire work as well as sewing beads onto card stock and fabric. Section 3 goes beyond the basics to create lace, tubes, fringe, and embellishments. Each project is well written, easy to understand,and includes diagrams for beautiful finished pieces. Each project has a useful "troubleshooting" section to help with any problems you may have with a project. Another helpful section describes jewelry findings and bead types. One suprising aspect of this book is that the projects, while designed for a beginner, are beautiful and have an "advanced" look to them. This is a great book for someone who wants to experiment with different techniques.
