Book Review: Simply Sensational Beading

Simply Sensational Glass Beading (Paperback)
by Dorothy Wood ISBN-10: 071531937X

The majority of projects in this book use seed beads, but its advantage is the great variety of techniques used.  Bead stitches, tassels and fringes, wirework, bead embroidery and bead loom weaving are the major techniques shown.

Aside from jewelry, this book has some really fun projects including a purse, a pillow, a decorated tea light, a fabric box and a tiara.

All of the techniques are shown in step-by-step photos.  There is also a section on bead finishes, bead shapes, and other material and equipment.

This book retails for $22.99.
