This jewelry design book is the perfect instructional book for making jewelry. It is not for the beginner, but does give detailed instructions for many jewelry designs such as the peyote stitch, weaving, netting and stitching pieces. There are 100 patterns that can be made into beautiful jewelry pieces.

I enjoyed all the different patterns in this book. There are easy to complicated, to combinations therein instructions and patterns. The end of the book contains excellent instructions on the basic bead stitches, making this book an excellent desktop reference.

A nice little compendium of simple and some not so simple beadwork ideas. Very useful for a novice, especially one who has mastered the stitches but isn't ready to start designing on her own.

Any time you can open a book and page after page of design is always good. Open up the book and let the ideas flow.

This is a great book for beaders who want to learn various techniques through projects. The instructions are clear and the projects are pretty. I love these used books, too! Great price and fast shipping.

I am relatively new to the beading world and found this book very useful. The illustrations are great and instructions are easy to follow. I do like the variety of projects as well.

The photos, illustrations, and layout are beautiful, and at first flip through I found several pieces that I wanted to make, but when I began working on them I found the directions to be incredibly vague. This is not a good book for a beginner to learn from. I am generally very good at learning new skills from books, but the information just isn't there. I found I had to refer to other publications to figure out techniques and then guess at how to make the pieces shown here.

英語の苦手な私でも何とか楽しく製作できました。オフルームの基本的な作品が多く、作図もわかりやすく、アレンジし易い作品集だと思います。色合いはイギリス人好みなのでしょうか?初めて洋書にトライするのにはちょうどいい本だと思います。

オフルームに関する洋書を随分買い求めましたが、本書はタイトル通り初心者向けです。巻末にペヨーテステッチ、ラダーステッチ、ネッティング等の基本ステッチのインストラクションや金具類の取り扱い方が載っていて、初心者には大変ありがたい内容になっています。掲載されている作品についてですが、表紙にあるような、シードビーズを主に使った繊細なものより、大きなオーナメントや、マザーオブパールでできた特殊な形の素材、アニマルプリントのビーズ等を使ったダイナミックなデザインのものが多いです。全く同じものを作ろうとすると大変かも・・・。色合いも全体的に少し強い感じがします。素材を変えて、アレンジすればきっと良い作品が出来ると思うのですが、この本のインストラクションに沿って、同じものを作りたい!という気持ちになれなかったので星3つとしました。でも説明は丁寧ですのでオフルーム初心者にはおすすめです。
