Book Reviews of Making Metal Beads: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration (Lark Jewelry Books)
Book Review: A keeper
Summary: 4 Stars
I took this book to my advanced metal smithing class and it was an instant hit, nearly everyone thumbed through it and got some sort of inspiration. To be clear, nothing in this book is revolutionary. This books real strength was to show you how to combine familiar techniques and then showing you how to apply those techniques to fabricate metal beads.
Overall this is a very nice book, very well organized, good illustrations. I especially enjoyed the section that demonstrated how to take "blank" silver beads at the bead shop then modify them to suit your purposes. I think that illustrates the overall theme of this book, taking something easy, and then using it in a different way.
I know creating metal beads seems sort of "niche-y" but sometimes creating a chain isn't the right answer, and it's hard to find something that matches your work at a bead store. For that reason alone I would recommend buying this book--you never know when you might need it.
