I saw this book at a crafts store. I liked it a lot but I thought the price was high. When I found it on ebay I didn't hesitate to buy it. The book starts out with the "How To" basics then shows you how to use those techniques to make the jewelry. It is full of designs and clear color pictures to show step by step how to make these earrings. It's a good reference and the examples are easy to customize. My sister, who owns a bead shop liked it so much she asked me to buy one for her too. So I did and I highly recommend this if you want to learn to make bead jewelry specifically earrings.
This book meets my need perfectly. Only discusses making earrings. There are 41 different designs shown in color photos. I like 95% of the designs; they are mostly dangling earrings, some hoops, using crystal/glass and semi-precious stone beads. The time (15 - 60 min.), techniques, tools and materials are included for each! That is more detail than most other books I've reviewed. There is nothing I dislike about the book. at used book price, I'm delighted!
What a great book for the beginner! I can't wait to get started! Pictures are with REAL hands and tools. Clear instructions. Teaches you how to make earwires, which I was not expecting. That will save a LOT of $.
This book was by far the best I've purchased for ideas and inspirational creative thoughts of my own. Well worth the price, I'm glad I took a chance on this purchase. Bought others that were not quite what I was looking for.Thank you!!
