Customer Reviews

It's meh.

It has some beautiful projects but the instructions are not clear to understand and the diagrams (few as they are) are not labeled so you know which diagram goes with which steps. I am not a beginner beader and these instructions have me frustrated. This is not a book I would recommend for a begginer.
