Review:
"As a bead teacher I believe the best way to empower a student is with a focus on recognizing the structure of technique before diving into a finished piece. Diane is a master at this. She starts her new book, "Shaped Beadwork & Beyond," with a solid, thorough section of 3-D foundation shapes and their construction for all the projects that follow. It is a natural progression from here through the spectacular designs in this extensive treasury-and that is how it must be described-of some of the most exquisite explorations seen today in dimensional beadwork. The clarity of the illustrations and lush photography are as engaging as they are informative. Inspiring is not effusive enough of a word!...Learning to move from flat beaded planes into architectural realms and crown them with color, pattern, and detail makes "Shaped Beadwork & Beyond" a must-have for anyone passionate about and committed to their personal growth as a seed bead artist." --Leslie Rogalski, former editor of "Step by Step Beads" and BeadingDaily.com
