Overview: Who doesn’t like beads? Sparkly, shiny, and delicate pieces that can be connected to make a useful whole. They’re LEGOs for grown-ups. Let’s check out these patterns.

Likes: This book has patterns, and information for both amateurs and the more advanced beaders.

Conclusion: This is a book that should be in every jewelry maker’s and beading enthusiast’s library.
