Full of Ideas
This book shows you the technique to do one necklace, and then several ideas to utilize the technique learnt. Throughout the book there are many techniques and tips. Good for inspiration for the experienced beader and for the novice, as it starts off with the basics and on to the more advanced necklaces. On the whole, I can reccomend it.
