Average Customer Ratings:
Glass beadmaking has become a crafting phenomenon, and this colorful reference features a rich repertoire of creative ideas. Splashed across the splendid pages in eye-catching photos are all the most popular types of beads, accompanied by the newest, most innovative techniques. The instructions begin with the basics: how to light the torch, wind and cool the bead, and shape the glass into barrels, cones, and discs. As beadmakers' skills develop, they can expand their horizons by experimenting with enamel; using mica dust to form an iridescent sheen; and applying silver, gold, and copper leaf to layers of glass. The most advanced projects are truly remarkable, from floral and sculptural beads to beads that encase images of stars, rainbows, and faces. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.

I will be getting this book.... -
I have this book from my local library. I like to preview books from there sometimes prior to buying to see if it is what I want. And this one definitely is! Very comprehensive, well laid out, excellent illustrated instructions, beautiful work. It is a visual treat just to look at. You could actually have it as a coffee table book it's got such beautiful photography.
Excellent book for bead making refreshment and new ideas -
I took a beadmaking class almost a year ago and decided to start again. This book goes into great detail on how to make your first bead and add much detail, refreshing my memory quite well. I also like the author's tips on how to use items around the house to incorporate into bead work and how to make your own frit. The author is very detailed on each bead making tool, types of glass rods, types of gases to use, and other bead making techniques. There are also numerous colored pictures of glass beads also to give new and inventive ideas. Highly recommended to both the novice and intermediate glass bead maker.
