Synopsis
It's the newest thing in crafting, a hot mix of crochet and beadwork. These more than 50 projects for necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are all marvellously easy to make, using only the most basic stitches. Surround cabochons with a netting of beaded crochet to form the Opal or Stone Pendant Necklaces. The Pearl Frenzy necklace features freshwater pearls threaded into a chain-stitched design. For a matching set of jewels, try the Pretty in Pink or Snake ensembles. Each project includes colour graphs and diagrams, and there's plenty of information on stringing techniques, selecting the best fibres, combining different sizes and types of beads, and troubleshooting.

Customer Reviews

a bit old fashioned
i bought this book hoping it could teach me to bead crochet. i cant fault it, this book succeeded where so many have failed :) (NB. i found starting with those massive pony beads for children was the way in)

however ive had to rely on other sources for inspiration on projects(the art and elegance of beadweaving being one of my favourites). the jewelry is old fashioned and wierdly modelled by children the whole way through.
