About the Author

Jane Davis has written a dozen books, many of which have become top sellers.

From Booklist

Beading books tend to concentrate on one technique and ignore or only briefly mention other ones. Here, three very new authors combine their talents to present a wealth of methodologies and an abundance of projects. For each project, instructions come first. And after breezing through a history and overview of equipment, the authors emphasize the how-to in such stitches as peyote and herringbone and such elaborate processes as tubular beaded crochet. Every one of the more than 25 projects focuses on a specific tool or technique, complete with color graphs, list of materials, size and measurements, a color photo, and diagrams whenever apropriate. Although directions for fashioning, say, a Victorian ivy-leaf charm bracelet or an elephant eloquence necklace are presented with plenty of details, beginners at least will need a jeweler's loupe or extra-strength magnifying glass to decipher the initial information. Glossary appended. Barbara Jacobs
