 Best book for Beaders!!Dec 03, 2009
By Olivia
"Olivia"
I really LOVE this book! There is so much variety in the designs, I'm not sure what I want to make first. Beautiful pictures are always something I look for in my beading books. These are great for inspiration. But, even better is the clear, easy-to-follow steps and illustrations. Best part is something I have never seen done in any beading book before, each of the projects is done three different ways, with different colors, bead shapes and sizes! Usually I'm only interested in doing half the projects in a book but I want to do ALL the projects in this book! I was intrigued by bugle beads before but I heard they were tricky to use. With this book you'll find projects that really work without fear of cutting threads. No worry! This is what the bead world has been needing!

Jamie does it again!Dec 30, 2009
By Yvonne A. Cabalona
"drusy hound"
Jamie Cloud Eakin has done it again. What DOES one do with those bugle beads? In this book, she takes us from well-written instructions to clear, uncomplicated illustrations showing the bead-needle paths along the way. What I like are the three illustrations per project in different colors. They go from subtle to festive showing the range and versatility of the patterns. What I like even more is how she buffers the sharp edges of the bugles with seed beads. How many of us have worked with bugle beads and beading thread only to have the thread fray and break in the middle of a project? And fringes? Now that I have a better idea of how bugle beads can enhance them, there is no such thing as too much fringe. Kudos to Jamie!! I can't wait to see the creations that she comes up with next!

Absolutely WonderfulDec 20, 2009
By S. Wilkins
Jamie has a gift for writing instructions that you can follow. Her diagrams are the best I have ever seen in an instuction book. I love the way she has shown the projects in various color options, so many choices, all beautiful. This is a must have book for any bead lover.

Love the clear instructions. Fun projectsDec 30, 2009
By Vickie
I've already completed 5 projects from this book and they go pretty fast with nice results, a plus for using bugles. The instructions are easy to follow and the diagrams are well illustrated. Also, the pictures are close up so I can see the details of the of the finished work. The designs are nice and my work came out even better than I imagined. I feel I got my moneys worth with this one.

 Great colour combosJan 30, 2010
By C. Townsend
I love the colour combos that Jamie has used in this book. They are definitely a great source of inspiration for using not just bugles but any bead.
I was a little disappointed in the lack of projects in this book. Upon reading I found that the same technique was used with multiple pieces so I wasn't really learning anything new. I would still recommend this book to beginners though. It's a good read, even for just the colours and fringe work alone.
