Speaking of Beaded Cabochons...
Does anyone have this book? If so, your opinion please.
http://www.amazon.com/Beading-Caboch.../dp/1579907180 Are there better books on beading cabochons than this one? Funds are limited so I need the biggest bang for the buck. Anna W. in Tx |

Speaking of Beaded Cabochons...
I have it and LOVE it! I used it to do the cab that I just posted the other
day. My first few beaded cabs I did using patterns from the Internet, so you may want to look around first because there's some good stuff for free. The techniques in the book were a little different from what I'd learned, so I was glad to expand my knowledge. Also, the photos are GORGEOUS and very inspiring. If you get this one, I don't think you'll be disappointed. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Anna W." wrote in message ... Does anyone have this book?

P.S. Keep in mind that I'm a fairly inexperienced seed beader, so that's my
perspective on things. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Beadbimbo" wrote in message ... I have it and LOVE it! I used it to do the cab that I just posted the other day.

I think it's a wonderful book. I haven't bought it yet but I've been
renewing the book from the library for about a month now. lol! It will get bought most definately though. It is a very well done book with a ton of pictures and variations of beaded cabs. More than I thought possible to tell you the truth! -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti "Anna W." wrote in message ...

I looove the library. Thankfully mine is awesomely stocked and usually there
is at least one new beading book every month or so. I just picked up one about beaded flowers, which alas, doesn't seem to be for me. But the pictures sure are pretty!! :-D -- Valerie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.valeriebeads.com http://valeriebeads.etsy.com I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -Michelangelo Buonarroti "Anna W." wrote in message ...

Hi Valerie...
I went ahead and ordered the cabochon book but I'll definitely be visiting the library for more books. I'm hoping the book arrives by Friday. Anna W. in Tx "Valerie" wrote in message ...

Hi Anna,
Our library doesn't have a great selection of beading books, but there's one I like called: Beaded Jewelry with Found Objects. I've checked it out several times and have it right now. It has some examples of beaded cabs in there. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Anna W." wrote in message ... Hi Valerie...

Jerri, I also have that book, as a matter of fact on page 47 is a
necklace made by my friend, Betty Oliver, her husband sells the dichroic cabs at Quartszite and does beautiful wire wrapped pieces. She taught me all I know about beading! Great book! Marilee |
