Editorial Reviews: Product Description New in Paper “Jenkins' beads are little glass gems...Photographs of museum-quality beads...provide an eye-opening look at beads as art.”—Library Journal “There is enough detail to make unsuspecting readers into addicts. An excellent introduction.”—Booklist Beads that are multicolored, grooved, feathered or foiled, and decorated with spots, dots, eyes, and stripes: no matter which of these designs in glass you choose, the results will be beautiful. Detailed instructions and magnificent photos, along with scores of valuable tips and tricks, guide crafters through an awesome array of techniques, making this the best guide to glass beading ever. The creative journey begins with making a simple bead; proceeds to easy variations, such as overwraps and raked patterns; and ends exquisitely with beads shimmering with different metals and featuring millefiori, sculpting, and hollowing. The author lives in Skokie, IL.

Customer Reviews: Read 40 more reviews... Very informative book with great pictures July 13, 2008 I'm interested in learning how to make beads and several lamp workers suggested this book to me before taking the plunge (before buying all of the supplies). I think after reading and re-reading this book I'll be confident enough to give it a try! The book shows how to make simple starter beads and progresses to the more involved, difficult beads. I feel it's a great starter book and may even give the pros some tips to improve their technique. I'd recommend it to anyone who's thinking about giving glass bead making a try! Photos are beautiful; simple beads are photographed for a newbie's sake, and more challenging beads are shown on every page to show what can eventually be done with practice. Plus the "hot tips" are wonderful! EXCELLENT July 8, 2008 Excellent book for beginning "beaders" like me! Step by step instructions and great photos.....you won't be dissapointed Good for beginners May 27, 2008 I bought this book without ever having touched a torch in my life and with this book and "The Complete Book of Glass Beadmaking" by Kimberley Adams I've been able to make cute little beads right from the start. I recommend buying two different books to learn lampwork beadmaking because I found that the two I bought used slightly different techniques to form beads. I was able to achieve more success with one technique over then other in many cases. Good, but bigger pictures would have helped May 25, 2008 This book is good and has lots of info and useful tips. My only problem is that the images of the projects are quite small. I like to see big, clear images so I can follow them easily. But other than that, a really good book which I am glad I purchased. Wonderful bead book March 29, 2008 This book explains in details on how to make beads and just the basics of setting up your own torch, etc.
