50 Beaded Earrings: Step-by-Step Techniques for Beautiful Beadwork Designs

I brought this book for my Kindle and I love it! Great instructions and also diagrams to help you along. I feel this book is aimed more towards the beader with some experience. Tammy H. has done it again with this book of highly wearable earrings. You definitely get your money's worth with this book.

A fantastic book with a variety of earring patterns. Definitely recommend this book for all levels of beading skills. Love the tutorials of different bead stitches.

This book includes a wide variety of patterns and the content is definitely more exciting than the cover. It's a perfect reference for the experienced beader who is looking to try out some interesting quicker projects. Please know that if your bead stash is mostly one hole beads of similar sizes, this book will not help you use your stash. Most of these patterns use many two hole beads and a variety of sizes of beads (15/0-large rivolis) within the same project. For example, even with the more standard shaped beads, like dagger beads, the design will use the two hole bead type. Overall, I am impressed by the worldly creativity displayed in these designs. The patterns include the minimum amount of instructions and clear full color photography, but there are 50 projects so you are getting a value there. Because of the minimum pattern instructions included, this book is probably best for experienced beaders, not the first choice in a beginner book. However it does include a small technique glossary in the back, which should be a helpful start for those who need a little more instruction.
