Amazon.com Review
Pretty photos and decent directions demonstrate how to create dozens of different projects out of enamel, glass, pearl, ceramic, semiprecious, and other types of beads. From the basics of equipment and foundation techniques like threading, knotting, and finishing, to designing striking necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and brooches, A World of Beads takes the novice or intermediate beader through the fundamentals to an attractive finished product, with stops along the way to admire the beads of China, Europe, India, and Africa. --Amy Handy
