I attending the Bead & Button show & was teaching during the same time as Laura was. Being I hadn't had a chance to attend her class a few of her students wore what they learned. It's been 5 years past now, & I am so glad she put it in a book. The shipping was very slow, with no correspondence by the seller. However, the book had exactly what I was looking for. The photography is crystal clear. The instructions, well that's going to take a little bit of understanding. Otherwise fabulous & pleased with her instructional bead book. Good job Laura!
I love the photography, detail and instructions in this book! Very user friendly. Each instruction to each pattern is very detailed. If you enjoy beading with seed beads and rivolis this is the book for you.
This book will show you how to create closures to showing you how to use two bezeling techinques, seed beading and crystals and much much more!
I bought Creating Crystal Jewelry with Swarovski by Laura McCabe (2008)few weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the projects. I'd recommend this book for all swarovski jewelry maker.
