 The best beading book ever! January 29, 2007
This is such a refreshing book, and Margot is a new type of teacher. You will enjoy just reading the book, and yet, you will find yourself itching to get out the beads and get going. Margot Kidder has such a fun personality that is so obvious in her books--I know I would love just hanging out with her!
You will not be sorry you bought this book (&while you're at it, buy her second book, too. It is a must have!)
Beader's Guru: Beading in Fun Way! January 11, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
From the 1st page of this book, I already got an impression that this is not an 'usual & ordinary' beading book. When I go to next page and read the entire book, I was wrong. This book is awesome! Beading never been this fun, creative and interesting!
From beginner to intermediate and even advance level, you'll find this book is totally inspiring. Margot Potter has carefully divided projects for each skill level. Not only that, she's also a great mentor! Her way of teaching the beading technique is truly applicable. If you never been in beading before, I bet you'll be impatiently successful in creating your 1st project.
This book is a MUST have one!
A must-have book for any crafter or beader! January 4, 2007

This is not your usual beading book! Yes, it has oodles of clever ideas of jewelry to make, but it is how these ieas are presented that make it tip-top above the rest. The pictures are so fun and whimsical, the wording friendly and it has gobs of sidebars and tidbits to make the most of your beading adventure. It's as if Margot wanted to squeeze the most content she could on every page to give the reader more than their money's worth. I highly suggest this book for anyone who is into jewelry making and crafts in general, you will be majorly inspired!!!
An unusual step-by-step approach which leaves nothing to the imagination alone April 3, 2006

A fun, light reading style provides a very approachable guide to beaders with Margot Potter's The Impatient Beader: Easy Jewelry Projects For The Busy Beginner! If author Margot Potter's name sounds familiar, it's because she's a QVC on-air presenter and featured artist on PBS TV's 'Beads, Baubles and Jewels' show, and here provides a collection of master techniques and tools for making necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more. Color photos present not only the usual finished product, but close-ups of beading in process for a unusual step-by-step approach which leaves nothing to the imagination alone.
Lively and fun -- this book is a blast! February 14, 2006

I have a standing twice-monthly babysitting get-together with my nine year-old niece, and I got this book to try some projects together. The book is intelligently laid out with a concise shopping list (important, because I don't enjoy spending a lot of time wandering around craft stores), and easy-to-follow photographs that lead the reader every step of the way.
In addition, the text is lively and a lot of fun to read.
So far, we've done the following projects:
Island Girl Kilt Pen
Casino Royale Collar
Mermaid's Bounty Necklace
Surf Betty Anklet
All have turned out great. The projects take very little time, but the results look incredibly professional. I only hope there's a sequel before we finish all the projects in this book!
