Beautiful Beaded Ropes - Review and Give Away

Jill Wiseman's Beautiful Beaded Ropes is another in Lark Crafts' Beadweaving Master Class series. This is a stunning book with 24 projects to intrigue the beader. While I am a novice at beading in comparison to the author, I found the instructions to be strong, especially for those familiar with working with patterns.

The projects range from fairly elegant and simple pieces to much more complex and challenging designs. All of the projects are based on ropes either for bracelets, necklaces, lariats or even earrings and one intriguing ring. The projects are grouped by technique with a good supply list including tools needed for the projects.

While probably not the first project book to consult for the new beader, it would be great inspiration while one is learning and would provide good challenges for some time to come. I recommend the book for experienced beaders and those looking for new inspirations.


If you are interested in owning a copy of this book, leave me a comment on this blog by Sept 20 and a way to contact you (USA only)  and I will  randomly draw a name to send the book to.
