Title: Great project book, but...
Product review: I thought I'd find a project book inspirational for my beading, but instead I found it rather limited. Many projects call for specialized beads (some of which are no longer available, or require a lucky find). There's room for substitution of course, up to a point, but I think other books such as Margie Deeb's 'Beader's Guide to Color' do a better job if you're just looking for inspiration. That said, this book does have some great tips in it, such as a method for stringing small beads together to act as spacer beads.There are plenty of great photos, although the tendency to focus on a small part of larger projects such as necklaces sometimes made it tough to know what the whole would look like.Basically, if you're the kind of beader who prefers to work from projects, this is a great project book. If, like me, you prefer to design your own works, it's okay for inspiration but not amazing. Decide based on your own needs.
