Bead Fantasies IV: The Ultimate Collection of Beautiful, Easy-to-Make Jewelry (Bead Fantasies Series) Paperback – September 15, 2006

I own all the books in the Bead Fantasies collection. Each one gets better and this one is no exception. The technique used is beadweaving mainly with seed beads and crystals and semi-precious beads as accents. My favorite part of this book is the amount of pendants one can make. There are a ton of projects jammed into this book.This series is not for the beginning beader, although it is great inspiration for color combinations and materials. The books are translated from Japaneese and have small diagrams with thread paths. Directions are not always clear. I will continue to buy new books in the series as they are released.

Each of Takako Samejima's Bead Fantasies books are wonderful, and this is no exception. Versatile component designs, excellent instructions, and a list of spare but fine quality materials ensure you'll be making beautiful beaded pieces in no time.

Interesting creations

The authors signature delicacy is at work here in a collection of very doable jewelry.

Mediocre. There were only 2 projects that I found interesting enough to do.There was no problems with delivery.

I got this book last summer. Despite being the fourth of an outstanding series of beaded jewelry instruction and inspiration, it provides yet even more inspiring designs and instructions. This book, like its predecessors, is content rich and full of unique designs. I continue to get compliments on jewelry made from this book.

excellent book! very happy with the condition even if it did have a few pages fall out. it love the content got it at the library and then had to buy it!

good diagrams
