<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Davis, Jane, A Beader's Reference<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">. Krause Publications, Wisconsin, USA. 2003. </font></font></p>

<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">ISBN 0-87349-554-3, soft cover, 8¼ x 10¾ inches, 157 pages.</font></p>

<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">This is a beautiful book with more than 200 colourful beadwork graphs and designs, numerous high quality gallery photographs, and a dozen project ideas that together form a comprehensive and inspirational reference for most who like to work with beads. It is divided into five sections that cover basic stitches and graphs, charts, cords, edgings and fringes, and projects. The projects include jewellery, purses, a needle book, chatelaine, key rings, wall hanging, netting borders and more.</font></p>

<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There are a variety of beadwork techniques described and taught with clear and simple illustrations, including square, peyote, brick, herringbone and netting stitches, plus loomwork and crochet cords.</font></p>

<font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">A special feature of this book is the easy-to-follow colourful graphs for all of these beading stitches mentioned above, coupled with excellent instructions and beautiful colour photographs. Perusal of the Design Galleries is a great way to be inspired for that next project, a tonic for stymied creative juices. This book makes you feel the need for many more hours in the day and extra consecutive lifetimes. I particularly appreciate the graphs and charts alongwith the inspirational beadwork photographs.</font></p></font></td>
