Fantastic first introduction to beaded jewellery (2008-01-31)

I bought this book just over a week ago and set about making one of the projects straight away. The book is lovely to look at (I spent hours just pondering the possibilities!) and is very clear and detailed. I made one of the necklaces tonight (couldn't wait for all the supplies to arrive!!) and although I couldn't get the exact beads in the make up of this necklace, my necklace looks just as good and I couldn't be more pleased.Definitely a good first buy if you want to start out in making beaded jewellery. I've now got the bug and the possibilities, using this book alone, are endless!

Brilliant (2008-01-06)

I have been making my own jewellery for about 6 months and I got this book forXmas - the pictures are beautiful and the designs are very easy to follow. If you are looking to start in jewellery making, this will teach you the basics!

All About Beads - Barbara Case (2007-04-23)

This book is an excellent resource for those wishing to design and make handcrafted jewellery. I have referred to the techniques and instructions time and again, and believe it to be one of the best reference books on the market. Filled with great illustrations, easy to follow step-by-step instructions, design ideas and crafty tips, this is a must have for everyone interested in making their own jewellery.

Great for learning beading techniques (2006-11-03)

This book is really nicely illustrated and the instructions clear, but the author tends to favour more traditional designs using french wire (gimp) and gold.It does have some great explanations of the basic beading techniques though, so useful for any beader to have for reference.
