 The best primer on beading May 21, 2008
I'm no professional beader. But I do enjoy creating beautiful jewelry to give as gifts. As a busy businesswoman, I've found that my hand-made gifts mean more to my friends than store-purchased, since my time is probably my most valuable commodity.
Anyway, I probably own a dozen beading books. But this book is the one I use whenever I need to go back and refer to something. Besides good descriptions, the photos help me a lot - I guess I'm a visual learner. ;o) The pieces illustrated are basic but classic - very much my style.

I bought this book for my daughter who has been teaching herself to make bead jewelry. This is a good beginner book; it describes tools, techniques and gives nice examples of jewelry to make. I would recommend it.

This is a great book for learning good techniques for selecting and stringing beads, with comprehensive instructions on all the basics including stringing, crimping, knotting, wireworking and much, much more. Also includes lots of great projects with full instructions. Follow the steps and finish up with a wonderful piece of jewellery that you can wear with pride or give to someone as a lovely gift. This is a small book, but packed with information. I love it! I'm a much older beginner to beading and have found it invaluable.
For beginners just venturing into the art of beading... July 16, 2007

When I first started beading, I bought several bead books. Many of them were a waste of time-but not this one. I refer back to it often for basic information. While it may be a little boring for advanced users, beginners will find it extremely helpful. Getting Started Stringing Beads includes information on shopping for beads (which helped me to understand how bead stores work-I would have been lost without this!). Did you know that when you go into a real bead store you will find a bead tray and clipboards with paper and pens to write down what you buy? It also includes the basics, simple design instructions, information on focal beads, earrings, and helpful tips. This book was well worth the money.
