As a complete beginner I found Case's writing style and use of diagrams excellent she made me feel confident that I could take on the patterns myself.
The introduction comprises a primer on types of beads, materials, tools and basic techniques, all of which are clear, easy to understand and well illustrated
These are followed by 80 'recipes' for necklaces, earrings, brooches and even golf counters. The recipes are really clear, at the top of each is a rating of how easy the project it is, how long it should take to make and the length of the finished piece. There is a clear picture of the project as made by the author, and then the 'ingredients': everything you will need to make the project, and then step by step instructions. A multitude of different styles are included and many many different kind of beads, a delicious invitation to take the recipes and use your own ingredients to make the designs your own.
A gift to the reader
