Making your own beads
is the ultimate in creativity! With the simplest materials—seed
beads, wire, and readily available findings—you can create
truly unique beads, each one an expression of your personal style.
The stunning work of 30 bead artists will inspire you while you
learn a range of techniques, from simple to elaborate and funky
to elegant. Projects range from easy to advanced and use all makes,
models, sizes, and shapes of beads. Simply slide your finished bead
onto a neck wire, dangle it from an earring, or feature it in an
intricate piece of jewelry. All of these beaded beads are sensational
and readily wearable! (This is the third book in the successful Beadwork ® Creates series, which includes Beadwork Creates
Necklaces and Beadwork Creates Bracelets.)
