A Book that Speaks to Our Soul

Review of Beading-the Creative Spirit by Rev. Wendy Ellsworth > <br />> Finally, a book that speaks to our soul. Wendy was my first bead <br />> teacher and through her spirit I was able to expand with the wind. <br />> Nothing stops me and all is enjoyable. Her new book will give you <br />> courage and creative will to push your beading to new levels of fine <br />> art. It does show you patterns and "how to" but more importantly the <br />> book teaches you to find yourself and express yourself. <br />> <br />> Thank you Wendy for the journey using beautiful beads. <br />

Great Book

I have been greatly enjoying this marvelous book. Traveling with Wendy Ellsworth on her spiritual path is an eye opener for any creative person. The wisdom is applicable for artists working in any medium. The information on light and color, and the advice regarding work spaces is invaluable. The exercises on meditation are also wonderful! I am a metalsmithing jewelry artist. Like many artists, I also create in other media. I see potential to incorporate some of the beading techniques into my art, which the author so clearly describes in her book. I highly recommend it for spiritual, creative, and practical purposes.

Beading expanded!

As enjoyable as beading can be, Wendy's book added an entirely new dimension. This holds true for beading and for life in general. She helped take an art form I love become even more enjoyable. In turn, my pieces are more alive. The projects she includes come with clear instructions and gave me the confidence to bead pieces I may have found too difficult in the past. It's made a positive difference in my life outside of beading as well. The ten tools of creative expression have become goals I use daily. It is a manual for life through beading-a first-Thank you Wendy!
