Review:

Easy step-by-step instructions accompany a beader's guide which uses seed beads to create pictorial earrings and pins. All steps are illustrated and some color photos of finished works accompany many design suggestions. Picture Beaded Earrings For Beginners uses 10/_ seed beads to create Diamond-Shaped Pictorial Earrings and Pins. The finished designs can also be used for necklaces or as appliques for clothes, shoe laces,hats or belts. The relatively large size of the beads used makes the designs perfect for beginners, but the 53 original patterns will delight beaders of all skill levels who enjoy making pictorial designs. Picture Beaded Earrings For Beginners features easy-to-follow instructions for Creating Diamond, Partial- and Half-Diamond earrings, with a Two-Needle Brick Stitch technique. All the necessary steps are fully illustrated. The addition of loop and straight dangles is also completely explained and illustrated. Other designs include a Seal balancing a ball, a cuddly Teddy Bear, a Strawberry, a friendly ghost, and a prickly cactus, an anchor, bat, black cat, coral snake, cherries, crab, cupid, dollar sign, Dream Keeper, duck, Easter Bunny, and many more! -- Midwest Book Review
