The author shares her passion for beads, bringing together a stunning range of designs based on classic stitches. Her techniques are clearly illustrated with dazzling photographs and clear, detailed diagrams. Using colour and texture to enhance and embellish the designs, she shows how to vary basic project ideas, and how to create shimmering rainbow baskets, crocheted ropes, woven necklaces, spiral bracelets and more.
