Alice Korach is a great teacher. She takes you through a range of projects of increasing complexity. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced beader, this book offers plenty to intrigue, entertain and challenge your creative side. The eight projects are beautiful, and just thumbing through this book evoked lots of great ideas for variations. The illustrations are clear and even a relative beginner can approach a project with confidence guided by these lucid and detailed instructions. I started with a tubular herringbone bracelet in a single color, and I can't wait to get to the stage where I can use 8 or 9 colors in some of Alice's gorgeous beaded bead designs!
