Book Review: Diane Fitzgerald's Favorite Beading Projects

First, my disclosure....The Publishers at Lark Crafts/Sterling Publishing sent me this book to review on my blog. They do NOT pay me for the review, other than the book(s) that they sent me for review.






Diane Fitzgerald's Favorite Beading Projects
Diane Fitzgerald

2012
Hard Cover 128 pages $27.95
ISBN 978-1-460059-922-4




This is Diane's 10th book. Quite an accomplishment in itself. As if it weren't enough to have authored 10 books, each of Diane's books is a gem. This one is no exception.

There are two dozen varied projects in this book.

Want some fancy stringing? It's in here, check out page 15.

How about an elegant crystal necklace fit for a queen? Look on page 51.

Are you wanting to make a collection of little flower baskets to wear pined to your spring jacket? How about at least 9 variations to go with several jackets? Find these beginning on page 64.

Or maybe you think life is a bowl of cherries and you want something 3D to wear to prove it. Then the project beginning on page 31 is just for you.

Whatever style you may be looking for, elegant, whimsical or classic you should be able to find something that will become your favorite. Ok...maybe more than one. Fine, you got me...at least a dozen if not more. 

All projects are beautifully photographed. Directions are clearly illustrated. 

So  go buy this book! What's holding you back? Hmmm??? Are you afraid you can't decide what to make first? I am sure you will be in great company!!

  2. When I met Diane at her studio last spring, she told me about this upcoming book and she said she was SO excited because this was something that she'd always wanted to do. She said that these really were her favorite unpublished projects. Sounds like a winner. Thanks for the review, Sig.
