Basic techniqueJul 16, 2010
This book is one of the best to get started with seed beading. It shows you the basic technique needed as well as types of beads, threads to use, clasps, etc. You will love it and refer to it regularly.
A great starter bookMay 18, 2010
Dustin Wedekind was one of my favorite designers prior to his book. I was impressed by his simple but elegant beginner projects. Easy to follow and very comprehensive for a relative "newbie".

Getting Started With Seed BeadsApr 05, 2010
As a brand new beader, I have been looking for a book with clear directions and illustrations. I have found this to be such a book. The directions are exactly what I have needed. The diagrams are clear and informative. The designs are wonderful. I am so glad to have found this book. I am understanding beading "lingo" much better and it has helped me in learning new stitches. Thank you for carrying such a great book.

Great Book!!Jan 11, 2010
I am probably a beginner/intermediate beader and I really enjoyed this book. There was a variety of different beading patterns (herringbone, peyote, right-angle weave, etc). There is something for everyone.
