I have read through this book but still refer to it constantly. I am trying my hand (fingers) at sophisticated beading. I beaded as a child and find it amazingly relaxing.

I would really like a book with many examples and color pictures. Any recommendations?

Finished the book. A lot of good details and suggestions. I like more color pictures though.
