Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery

by Suzen Millodot

Simple knotted necklaces look elegant and stylish when combined with beautiful ceramic, metal or wooden beads. Just one knot with several semi-precious beads is stunning. Matching bracelets catch the eye and can be worn on any occasion. Once the techniques are mastered, designs can be as extravagent, or as simple as you want - no specialist equipment is required and no special skills. The techniques are explained clearly with many detailed step-by-step photographs, accompanying diagrams and helpful advice, and inspirational projects are included to develop skills and inspire creativity.

What a great book! Some lovely pieces to make in here,some Chinese knots can get very complicated though,but it's rewarding when you can complete them,and the book does explain clearly what to do with diagrams and photos.

My only problem with this book is it's difficult to replicate the exact jewellery pictured as Suzen often uses one off beads and pendants she finds at markets etc,so trying to find them yourself or anything like them isn't easy. The cord for knotting is easily available online in loads of different colours though.

I've got another 2 books from the same author and look forward to more from her.
