 Beaded JewelleryNov 09, 2006
By MG Walton
A very nice book - great instructions and pictures. Most of the jewellery is made with wire as opposed to thread. Beads are certainly easily obtained from any good bead shop. I would recommend to anyone who likes working with wire.

Teen's ReviewFeb 03, 2007
By Eva Talia
"Eva"
I LOVE beading and this book was a very nice one. I looked through over 20 bead books to find just the right one of my favorite two. I like that the instructions are in depth but not too complicated. The pictures are really helpful and motivating. I feel like I am capable of creating anything in this book. For absolute beginners, I think some of the projects are too much especially for those who have little patience. I thought that some of the pieces were gorgeous but a couple of them I really dislike.
For You if...
you have patience
you've had a little experience in beading
you have the supplies (all the plyers, some beads, etc.)
you're easily inspired
you want a book that uses a wide range of tecniques
Not For You if...
you're just starting beading
you don't want to make jewelry
you want something REALLY different
you're looking for strictly an inspirational book
you don't like transparent beads and light colors (they use a lot of those)

Easy to purchase suppliesJun 09, 2006
By Linda Hessaa
"Gramtrannydoc"
I bought this book thinking it would be impossible to find the supplies to do the projects in it and that the projects would be way out of my league. Boy, was I surprised to see that most of the beads I could get at my local bead store or I had them on hand! Good Book! Actually some projects I might just make - not just a coffee table book.

 A Springboard for Successful Wire Wrapped jewelry!Sep 15, 2007
By Mona Hair
I have been designing jewelry for 12 years. There is always some elusive technique that I cannot find really good tutorial for. This book offered an excellent tutorial for wire wrapping briolettes. A great book for beginners with courage and moxy. A terrific book for intermediate skilled artisans. Whether you like the pastel colors used in the tutorials or not, the skills demonstrated in the book are a terrific springboard for developing your own individual style of artistic expression in composition that will render long enduring quality work-which is as it should be. The projects, with very little imagination, have room to personalize and augment into a design that is more than the initial project offered. All projects have an elegance and grace that are missing from many of the other books in my reference library. I highly recommend this one.

Beautifully GeorgeusJan 10, 2007
By Henny Farida Thomas
M.T. Ryan beautifully combine stones & materials that give the 'bling' and elegance effect on each of the projects. With step by step pictures & instruction, this book is a DO for beginners. For intermediate level, you'll find another insight in combining material, choosing colors and experimenting more in using georgeus chunky stones!
