Wie der Titel schon sagt "elegant jewelry projects"...
Dem stimme ich voll zu. Es ist natürlich alles Geschmacksache, aber die Schmuckstücke sind wirklich wunderbar zu fädeln und zu tragen.
Das Buch konzentriert sich auf RAW, ein wenig Fädelerfahrung sollte man schon haben. Dann ist jedoch die Nacharbeitung auch der komplizierteren Stücke gut machbar.

Dieses Buch ist super schön. Hat tolle Ideen. Allerdings muß man schon etwas geübt sein. Die Bildbeschreibung ist nicht so toll, wie z.B. bei Laura McCabe. Würde ich aber als eingeschworene Fädlerin als ein "must have" bezeichnen.

Beautiful designs!
13. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I pre-ordered this book back in March of this year, and have eagerly been awaiting its publication. I've been fortunate enough to have taken a class with Marcia before and have also completed a few of her kits. Her designs are always beautiful and elegant -- and the projects in this book are no exception.
The book is divided into six chapters: Chapter 1 covers beading basics; Chapter 2 provides a good overview of right-angle weave (RAW) that will benefit both experienced beaders, as well as novices; Chapter 3 covers projects that involve flat beading that resembles fabric; Chapter 4 covers rope-based projects; Chapter 5 covers beaded armatures; Chapter 6 covers embellishments; Chapter 7 covers curved projects; and Chapter 8 covers layered projects. The Appendix also contains a lovely Gallery of RAW projects by other bead artists such as Nan C. Meinhardt, Huib Peterson, etc. that makes for great eye candy.
In total, there are 24 projects to choose from; some of them (like Terracita and Etruscan Treasure) are older designs of Marcia's, but there are also plenty of new designs to choose from. There is also a good range of projects for both beginning beaders (such as earrings and bracelets/anklets) and more advanced ones.
Another nice feature is that the supply list for each project lists the precise colors of the beads being used, which should make it easy to replicate the exact look of each piece. A few of the supplies (like various widths of rubber tubing for the projects that involve armatures, etc.) looked like they might be a bit hard to find, but a quick Google search revealed that they should be easy to track down, and Amazon even carries some of them. This is a definite plus since it's always frustrating to discover that a beading project requires hard-to-find materials.
What I also noticed is that the directions in this book are very thorough and clear. I've had a few problems in the past following along with Marcia's directions, but the directions here are very clear and the diagrams are excellent. The instructions have definitely benefited from some good editing by the publishers of the book.
I don't have the first book in this new series by Lark, so I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the book is hardback since hardback books are so much easier to work from while you're beading.
I can't wait to get started on some of these projects!

Amazing, elegant designs from a true beadwork master!
11. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Twenty-four beautiful bead projects from Marcia DeCoster, one of the very best beading artists and teachers out there, make this book a standout essential. It's the second title in the Beadweaving Master Class series -- the first was the wonderful Diane Fitzgerald's Shaped Beadwork: Dimensional Jewelry with Peyote Stitch (Beadweaving Master Class) -- and Marcia maintains the series' true excellence for serious beaders. The instructions and illustrations are clear, and the stunning photography reveals the lovely elegance of these spectacular jewelry pieces. They simply shine.
All the projects are done in right angle weave, and Marcia covers all the needed techniques for this stitch in her Fundamentals section. The complexity of the pieces varies, but there are many serious, challenging designs in this book, as well as straightforward ones for a beginner to try her hand at. Marcia makes pieces using woven beads as ropes, fabrics, armatures, embellishments, and more. This book and its designs will astonish and please you.
Marcia also is one of 36 featured artists in the fabulous gallery book Masters: Beadweaving: Major Works by Leading Artists (Masters (Lark Books)), as is Beadweaving Master Class pioneer Diane Fitzgerald.
