Editorial Reviews
Review
The follow up to Stringing Style, this book also includes basic wirework techniques and projects. Like the first one it includes over 40 projects from Beadwork Magazine, along with 12 new ones. We especially liked the pages that showed lots of bracelet and earring variations, giving you lots of ideas for playing around with designs. We felt this book had a lot more to offer than the 1st in the series and really liked a lot of the work it included. –Bead Dec 07/Jan 08
