Exquisite Beaded Jewelry by Lynda Musante (2004, Paperback)

This book inspires & stimulates all beader’s, beginning to advanced, to think outside the square. Linda Musante encourages beader’s to develop their own ideas rather than following set formulas & explains how mistakes can lead to a new path in beading. “Exquisite Beaded Jewelry” is full of sound design principles with a dash of flair & panache, & a large helping of information, tips & techniques – superbly finished off with fabulous color photography.
There are a few ‘step-by-step’ projects – but this book is really more like a users manual for tools & materials, whether your passion is seed beads, lamp work beads, wire or precious metal clays – there is something for everyone. If there is only one bead book you own – this one should be it!
