Reviews for Dimensional Bead Embroidery

[aulsmith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you've ever tried to do bead embroidery with cabachons and given up when it got to the peyote stitch bezel, this book is for you! She has a much easier, more intuitive approach to bezeling which she explains in detail. In addition, she shows you how to get around problems like things without a flat back and irregularly shaped objects. Her directions are both detailed and clear with an excellent use of pictures. I actually feel like I can make my own project now and not just admire other people's work.

Lovely book, filled with knowledge, and inspiring ideas for any level of skill. For beginners and experienced beaders alike.

As always, Jamie has included techniques one will use time and time again. The projects are gorgeous, and each one has easy to follow instructions. I look forward to your next book Jamie.
