Summary: GORGEOUS! An extraordinary book full of many great projects
Review: I *LOVE* this book! It is filled with innumerable gorgeous innovative projects which are both spectacular as they are, and easily modified to suit your own style/tastes. The exceptionally wide range of projects includes everything from exquisite beaded bottle tops and bottle people to a beaded abacus and beaded napkin rings. There is truly something for all styles and tastes. The projects are gorgeous in themselves, and will also spark your own creativity. I love it!

Summary: Here a bead, there a bead, EVERYWHERE
Review: It's not necessary for a book like this to start with bead types (bone, coral, African trade). Most who would pick up a book on decorating with beads, like me, probably have drawers full of them and just want to get them out where we can see them. I also don't need to know what tools I'll need to fill my entire house with beaded décor, so just rip out the beginning of the book and take me straight to ideas.
Kudos to the author: she's got wonderful ideas. There's beaded fringe on a window valance -- wow! Imagine the glitter in the sunlight! There are embellished gourds, drawer pulls, picture frames, bead thumbtacks, a table runner, stepping stones, and on and on. Katherine provides us with so many ideas, we could cover our entire abode with beads (not a bad idea!).

Summary: Nice to Look At But.....
Review: Lots of good ideas and beautiful projects. However, instructions are terrible...it took us about 30 minutes just to figure out some of the instructions to one of the projects. Definitely great for inspirations, but not a book for the novice.
