Beaders and other artisans will have everything at their fingertips with this comprehensive resource on more than 600 individual beads. Rather than a historical reference to collectibles, this guide features beads to buy and work with now. Chapters are separated by bead material, including glass, wood, semiprecious stone, and ceramic beads. Each bead is pictured from several angles, and descriptions include dimensions, material, color range, usage, special care, size of hole, weight, suitable stringing materials, relative cost, and suggested beads from elsewhere in the book with which to mix and match. There is also an extensive supplier list with the inside scoop on where to buy beads in stores and online, making this reference a constant companion for designers looking to add to their bead bag of tricks.
