Reviews

Beadwork is everywhere, a resurrected craft that, along with scrapbooking and other old-new techniques, is enjoying newfound popularity these days. In fact, says Beadwork magazine, the sponsor of this book, one in three crafters is now buying these bedazzling supplies. Selecting 30 ring designs from the magazine, editor-in-chief Campbell has chosen well, with innovations ranging from a 1960s-look-alike flower-power ring to a whimsical "you won't do dishes in this ring." A number of the patterns are remarkably similar to the work of well-known jewelers, such as Hardy, Lagos, and Yurman, with incredibly smaller price tags. Each pattern includes a color photograph, artist credit, materials, notions, and step-by-step instructions, with how-to's illustrated whenever necessary. Techniques given at the end are useful but not geared to the novice. Barbara Jacobs
