Product Description
Review
This book is very well thought out and illustrated and is a must for new beadworkers struggling with colour mixing. It will also be inspirational for the more advanced reader to provide the impetus to experiment with colours outside their 'safe' usage. The detailed first section will help to unravel the mysteries of colour combinations to achieve effects ranging from delicate blends to startling combinations and unusual results. Also discussed are depth of colour, texture and size of beads and the effect of these on the finished piece. The second section is a feast of colour pages of beautifully presented finished work from many different beadworkers grouped under evocative headings descriptive of the colours used. The reader will undoubtedly enjoy dipping into these pages time and time again and returning to favourite pages for inspiration. The third section comprises ten projects which vary from simple to more complex with an initial choice of four alternative colour selections for each one, though using the first section will make the choice of colour combinations much wider, helped by the fold out colour wheel page at the end. I would recommend this directory as a permanent reference for colour selection and it will be difficult to resist reaching for your beads before finishing the book. --Pat Ayre, Bead Society of Great Britian Newsletter 89
