Working with world-famous Swarovski crystal beads, author Laura McCabe creates luminous necklaces, earrings, pendants, and rings for beaders of every skill level. The author provides complete step-by-step instruction for 20 projects (10 for beginners) -- and presents 45 more in a photo gallery of design variations, teaching readers how to vary colors and shapes to create custom effects. All 65 designs are made with only three simple beadwork techniques: flat peyote stitch, tubular peyote stitch, and spiral rope. Laura McCabe also provides a chapter on making decorative embellishments, such as bezels, picots, berry clusters, and branch fringe. The concise instructions are illustrated with easy-to-follow illustrations.

 Rating:  - You've got to buy this bookTo say I love this book is an understatement. The explanation of tools, beads, and crystal guidelines are just what every beader needs. Don't think this book is just for crystals either. There are many techniques that can be used for other types of beads. A++++ Rating: - A Luscious Book!Laura McCabe has written a luscious volume full of vibrant Swarovski crystal jewelry. Who among us doesn't love the sparkle and color of Swarovski crystal? Bicones, faceted rounds, rings, rondelles, one of my favorites - margaritas and rivolis! Combined with seed beads to create bezels, Laura is a master at making the beads and crystals sing with color and sparkle. Included are Laura's most notable designs, the Rings and Things Necklace, the Three-Strand Rivoli Bracelet and the Crystal Burst Ring. ...

This is a definite must for anyone who loves to bead with crystals and seed beads. Laura really makes it easy to follow her instructions, even if you are attempting the stitches for the first time.

I've been beading for 5 years and now only make pieces I really love. Great way to use those rivolis! Janet from Florida Rating: - Very clear illustrationsI have always been an ardent Swarovski fan and this book gives clear, concise instructions to make some very lovely jewelry using Swarovski crystals. I attended a bead show and one of the vendors had used this book to make some of the most stunning pendants and earrings using Swarovski rivolis. I highly recommend this book - many beautiful pictures and clear illustrations on how to make the projects. |
