A beautiful book that is both a work of art and a how to for learning how to create beautiful jewelry.By Trese SanchezCreative Beaded Jewelry is a beautiful book containing color photos of Carolyns creations; as well as easy to read and understand directions for creating those same beautiful pieces. If you enjoy beading and jewelry making or have ever considered trying the art; you owe it to yourself to get this book. I like that Caroline not only explains the tools of her trade and lists the supplies you need for each project but she guides you with easy to follow step by step directions. I cant wait to complete each of the 33pieces in the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
