Crafters will build a repertoire of skills as they progress, and learn numerous ways to embellish the beads surface and add decorative elements. An extensive gallery of handmade beads provides a wealth of inspiration.A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

I love this book! It's the most innovative jewelry how-to book I've run across in years plus it's just a delight to peruse with all it's full-color pics. With Pauline's help, you won't need a lot of new tools to make spectacularly embellished beads that are unique and hip. For some projects Pauline shows you how to transform boring store-bought beads into beads that you would pay big dollars for on the retail market. Lark Books spared no expense in printing this beautifully done and inspiring book. You'll definitely get your money's worth when you buy this book.
