A Feast for the Eyes
I eagerly awaited the publication of this book and was not disappointed. There are instructions for 30 bracelets, each with a full colour, beautifully-photographed illustration. A few of the bracelets involve wire, but the majority are threaded. There are some luscious designs (Lucy's Purple, Elizabethan Cuff, Woven Wave, Ellen's Flower Garden and Serendipity Bangles, to name but a few - there are so many to choose from).

There is something for everyone here, beginner to advanced, and it would be possible to use the ideas in this book as a springboard to making your own designs. The instructions for making each bracelet are clearly laid out and there are useful sections at the back of the book on tips and stitches. The book is unusually compact and narrow in shape, but my fears that it would not lie flat when following a pattern were ungrounded.

All in all, a good little book which should appeal to beaders at all skill levels and I, for one, can't wait to get started.
