Beadwork Creates Jewelry by Jean Campbell
Create beautiful jewelry for any occasion with Beadwork Creates Jewelry, a dazzling collection of 40 designs covering a range of techniques, styles, and materials.May 2007
Bead up a storm and create some wardrobe-extending pieces that are sure to look impressiveThis book combines the best of four other Beadwork Creates books (those narrow little books bead stores usually carry) on making necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings and takes the best designs from each for your delight.
This is easier to work from than those narrow books and features some stunning pieces, complete with instructions and lush whole-page photographs of what the finished piece ought to look like. This is not a book aimed at beginners, but the techniques used are briefly covered at the back so you can remind yourself of how to do things like stringing, crimping, off-loom stitches and the shortest and most succinct instructions on bead crochet and knitting I have yet seen. It makes it all look so easy and reading through it all I was impressed at how streamlined and well worded the brief instructions were, cutting through the jargon to what you actually do. As long as you have lots of rocailles and a few other beads and wire you probably have most of the materials, as this is fortunately not one of those books that are aimed at showcasing expensive feature beads that people outside the US find impossible to obtain. If you want to bead up some sets to go with your outfits then this book is an excellent choice.
