Premier Design High Fashion Jewelry
Q.What are your favorite beading books? I recently bought "Easy Beaded Jewelry" by Ray and Wilke and it has wonderful photos and beautiful jewelry designs. I also liked "Getting Started Making Beaded Jewelry" by Campbell. The books tend to be expensive so I thought I'd see what others had in their libraries.
A.I like the Beadwork series of small project oriented books. Carol Wilcox Wells' books on beadweaving are outstanding. Past that, most of my books are polymer clay, pmc or wirework. I just got the Bead Directory by Elise Mann off ebay even though Amazon won't have it for sale until next month (same with Katie Hacker's new book Hip to Bead." The Bead Directory has a pictorial summary of all beads and tells facts about each bead and a sample of each bead with other beads. Pretty cool I thought.
