Reviews

A British expert introduces beadwork by dividing beads into five groups: those made of natural materials; clay, ceramic, or lac (produced by the resins of an insect); metal; glass; and plastic. The rudiments of beadwork are thoroughly explained; specific materials to use and how to thread and to wire are explained and illustrated. The 15 beadwork projects are all necklace and earring combinations. Barbara Jacobs
