Beaded earrings are nice. Beaded necklaces are nice, too. So are beaded bracelets. And The Joy of Beading shows how to make all those pretty things, in more than two dozen jewelry projects. But this book also takes beading in exciting new directions, showing how to make beaded rosebuds, carnations, water lilies, poppies, and eight other flowers and plants, and how to use beading to create beaded picture frames, lampshades, scarves, wreaths, and many more innovative decorative accents and accessories! Crystal-clear, step-by-step photos and directions make every beading technique accessible. Projects are simple enough to appeal to beginners, yet sophisticated enough for more advanced crafters to bead a path to the bookstore s door.
