Tiara Magic
I have several books in the Twenty range and this one is just great.All the designs are clearly laid out with concise instructions and beautiful pictures.The designs are simple but cleverly thought out and there should be no problem for either the advanced or the beginner tiara maker to change the colour scheme or design if required. I found this book inspirational and was pleased with my results after only one attempt.

Great little book
A great little book, lots of good photos and clear instructions.Tiaras and Hairpins (Twenty to Make) (Twenty to Make) (Twenty to Make) (Twenty to Make)

Too little content!
There are great pictures of finished pieces in this book. But no pictures of the items beeing created, only describtion. This makes it very hard to imagine the process. I also didn't feel the tiara's where very innovative or intresting. All in all I was dissapointed.
