 Wonderful Addition To Any Beading Library September 17, 2008
This book is wonderful, beautiful projects, great instructions! This is a definite must for anyone who loves to bead with crystals and seed beads. Laura really makes it easy to follow her instructions, even if you are attempting the stitches for the first time. Look forward to making everything in the book. :)

This much anticipated book is a winner.Supplies are quite costly,so plan to spend some$. Directions are clear. I've been beading for 5 years and now only make pieces I really love. Great way to use those rivolis! Janet from Florida
Very clear illustrations September 6, 2008
I have always been an ardent Swarovski fan and this book gives clear, concise instructions to make some very lovely jewelry using Swarovski crystals. I attended a bead show and one of the vendors had used this book to make some of the most stunning pendants and earrings using Swarovski rivolis. I highly recommend this book - many beautiful pictures and clear illustrations on how to make the projects.
Finally...An Authoress who helped me GET IT September 1, 2008
I've bought several books in the past, trying to learn how to do Peyote stitch, herringbone stiches flat and round. This is the first book I have purchased where the author actually taught me how to do this without any of the vagaries of my previous purchases. Not only are the projects heartachingly beautiful, the author actually intends that the reader will be able to develop the skills to create his/her own versions of similar pieces of work and holds nothing back. Projects are gorgeous, instructions are clear and concise. Every artisans dream of growth in new skills is met here. It doesn't get any better than this. I've been able to add so many wonderful new skills to my design repertoire by studying this book. Thank you Laura!
