The Bead Selector's Bible
by Elise Mann
How do you choose from the dazzling array of beads that are available today? As well as myriad shapes and sizes, they can come in materials as diverse as faceted gemstones, crystal, ceramic, metal, plastic, wood, shell and cinnabar. This unique visual reference provides all the information you need to choose the perfect bead for every project, from jewellery and bead crafts to embellishing accessories and home decor. Each entry features a detailed photograph, clear diagrams showing size, weight and position and direction of holes, and an analysis of the properties and uses of each individual bead. Includes a "ready reckoner" for quickly calculating the number of beads required for bead-stringing projects, suggestions for mixing and matching with other beads in the book, supplier information, and advice on buying beads in-store and on-line.
