“These 30 designs will send you running. A bargain at $16.95, and if you like necklaces, you’ll use it often.”

“Not only has beautiful color photography but great designs from a diverse group of beaders across the nation.” —Beadwrangler.com |
At first glance, this appears to
be a show catalog of contemporary jewelry—the designs are
that inspired and inspiring. But no—it’s a pattern book,
a collection of 30 sinuous, dazzling, must-have, hand-beaded necklaces
with complete, easy-to-follow instructions. Projects include chokers,
collars, and simple strands that are sedate or extravagant, for
office or opera, for giving or keeping. The second book in the Beadwork
Creates series.
