SUMMARY- She gives a nice section up front on all the ways you can add a bead to your work - some of which would never have occurred to me, like at a join. The patterns are lovely and written out as well as diagrammed. I was particularly intrigued by the Angel Fish example shown of the author's work, where pearlescent sequins were used as scales for a framed piece. You'll note there are two different covers - and different titles - given for this book. They are both in English, but one was published in Australia(Judith's native country) and in the USA. Both books are identical otherwise.
