Reviews
"Easy to understand written instructions and excellent close-up photography clearly showing the thread paths. Kudos . . . innovative and highly effective use of thumbnail layouts that offers readers a condensed view of the construction process." -Monsters and Critics.com, "If beadwork conjures up images of hippies and dangling, useless, crafts-market jewelry, Nelson-Smith will make all those nightmares vanish. The 18 designs are unveiled, each with plenty of instructions. Included in each is a listing of techniques, materials, tools, sizing/finished size; What's the story, or her explanation of the piece's name and inspiration; directions with color photographs and illustrations inserted at appropriate steps; Nelson-Smith's tips (such as coat the thread with beeswax to maintain its tension); and At a Glance, a photographic depiction of the major activities within each item (for instance, bases, bumps, assembly, and so on). The last chapter covers all the basics, whether types of beads and the different tools to the how-to's of fasting and stitching. The jewelry—earrings, necklaces, and bracelets of all sorts—comes close to museum-quality manufacture, with three-dimensional effects adding to true statements of adornment." — Barbara Jacobs, Booklist "Easy to understand written instructions and excellent close-up photography clearly showing the thread paths.

  • Seed Bead Fusion

    By Rachel Nelson-Smith. 18 completely different projects, all different with suggestions of how to use the pattern in a different way. I first learned of this book on Pintrest. With many different variations on the same bracelet pattern. The book has written, diagramed, and photo directions. I believe most beaders can follow this book. A lot of mix and match, including using wire with your beads. It was published by Interweave in 2009. Projects are relevant today. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn how to combine stitching, wire and string, or any one of the three.
