Publisher's Note
Work wool magic by rolling it into hard balls, or adding metallic fiber. Coil polymer clay for a real impact. You’ll find that the simplest techniques yield incredibly lovely, one of a kind “jewels.” “Public libraries...will find this potpourri of projects a distinctive addition to crafts collections.”—Library Journal.
For anyone who loves working with beads, the natural next step is to create your own. Go right to the beginning of the process with five highly talented designers, whose ingenuity, mastery of the medium, and playfulness come through again and again, whatever material they're using. Work wool magic by rolling it into hard balls, and shaping them into crescents, dying them, or adding metallic fiber. Try papier mâché over wooden beads-especially elegant when done with beautiful Asian rice papers.Coil polymer clay for a real impact, and create faux ivory that's just right for ethnic styles. Turn shiny, polished metal into fancy decorative tubes, and get in the groove with ridged glass beads.You'll find that the simplest techniques yield incredibly lovely, one of a kind "jewels."

) This book is a good overall source for what it takes to create projects in different media. Each section goes over basic materials/techniques from felt to
clay to metal to glass. I enjoyed reading about each different materials but mostly from a standpoint in reality. It would be wonderful to work in metal or glass- but you must be aware of the commitment to having the right tools/workshop to produce some of these projects. I originally purchased this
for the polymer clay section for my current projects. I found many techniques
addressed were pretty clear and easy to follow. I thought some of the faux
projects were very nicely done.
This book is very good for the person who would like to learn more about *many*
types of base mediums out there for creating beads. It also showed a good
collection of artists workstations and tools needed for the more advanced/
complicated media projects.
