Great for a new beader!

The biggest problem I had as a new beader, was color. This book lays it all out including how different beads can turn different colors when the light hits them. In addition, the color wheel explanations were so helpful. I now find it much simpler to combine beads and colors.

Inspiring

One of the best beading color books available.

It will either help you with color or inspire you to get beading.

This book is arranged on themes of color. Within each theme, seascape tones, for example, there are several color themes.

Color "recipes" are listed in such a way that it's easy to follow. For example, it will list:

Deep Turquoise - 30%
Turquoise - 20%
Bright Blue - 25%
White 25%

There are only two things I wish the book had, neither of which would prevent me from buying another copy should mine become damaged.

1. Patterns for the stunning pieces that are her own work. She has several pieces throughout the book that I'd love to make but can't quite figure out. I hope it's her next book.

2. Some sort of bead reference. For example, which delica numbers match. Not that I'd want to use all delicas, but I can at least pick the suggested from something that is known and adjust from there. While I can understand the author wanting us to discover for ourselves, in this day and age of internet ordering, if there was some standard reference - at least when I picked colors out on the internet, I would have something to reference to.
