About this item
Diane Fitzgerald is the world's biggest and best-loved name in beading - and now she's back with a new book that will "shape" your jewelry-making for years to come! Focusing on geometric figures formed into three-dimensional beaded pieces, this gorgeous follow-up to her bestselling Diane Fitzgerald's Shaped Beadwork builds on Diane's earlier ideas with 40 stunning projects. In each chapter, Diane explores a different shape - from starry necklaces and heart pins to a Pirate Eyes Bracelet - and she goes in exciting new directions with imaginative and beautifully complex designs that play with patterns, crystals, and more.
About the Author
As someone once said, "Everyone needs their spot." My spot to bead is on the couch, with good light and a good TV program. Old movies and Law and Order are among my favorites. I usually bead in the morning and evening and spend the middle part of the day writing, editing and illustrating the instructions for what I've created. I love to do all three of these tasks, but editing is the hardest for me, so often I depend on "guinea pig" classes to check things and make suggestions.
One weekend a month I usually am "on the road" teaching somewhere in the U.S. Seeing the pleasure a student gets when they make something appealing (no matter how small) makes me feel great.
