Jean Campbell - Stringing Style 2: 50 More Designs for Beaded Jewelry —
I am very happy with this book. It teaches how to knot a bead thread, make a wire loop, about all the different things beads can be made of, and most importantly how to make a great bracelet or necklace!At the beginning there are even a few pages of just pictures of beautiful jewelry that others have made to help inspire the reader to make their own designs. When I have a few favorite beads I want to use and no ideas as to how to make them the best they can be, I refer to this book.
I really can't afford to use as many of the high end beads they ask for (in one project you need 320 5mm tourmaline cubes!) so I usually just substitute for a different cheaper gemstone such as fluorite. There are ways around just about anything when it comes to making jewelry and this book does require some, that is, unless you have a lot of money to spend.
All in all I am very happy with this book and would recommend it to the beginner as well as the advanced user (because even if you know how to do everything that is in this book, it still has great ideas to continuously inspire you).
