A good beginner's buffet: a little of everything

This book is aimed squarely at the beader who wants to do a little more than just stringing, and would like to give the world of seed beading a try. There are projects that cover many techniques from making necklaces with designer fringe to the beaded flowers on the cover, and all are within the reach of a beader with little experience and a desire to learn. I think this book would a perfect way to help a beginner decide which direction to go next - beadweaving, beading of flowers, or as a way to just add a little jazz to bead stringing. If you are anything besides a beginner, this really isn't for you. A good way to tell is to consider which beading magazine you like to read: if it's Step By Step Beads or Simply Beads, this book will make you happy. If you prefer Bead & Button or Beadwork, you'd be a lot happier with something more advanced.

Good, interesting, intriging ideas

I've very much enjoyed this book, and I've tried several projects. I've only been into beading for about a year, so I learned alot from this book.
