This 129 page book is crammed full of geometric beadwork to delight and inspire. Featuring 28 projects (with over 170 diagrams and over 220 photos) there is something for everyone. The book begins with the basics of geometric beadwork showing all of the techniques, tips and information you need to get started. It then moves onto colour and design considerations before separating into 4 different chapters: Triangles, Squares, Pentagons and 'Beyond Corners'. Even if you have purchased instructions from Jean before, or done some other geometric beadwork there are still many projects and techniques which are brand new, never seen before. In addition to full page photos, so you can see all the detail, every project has: The quantity and size of beads you will need The colours used (where I had them and the label hadn't come off the tube etc) The techniques needed (every technique needed is shown in detail at the start of the book or relevant chapter) Sizing information (where relevant) Variation ideas (again where relevant) Detailed step-by-step instruction using a mix of text, diagrams and photos My favourite feature: 'In a nutshell'. This is for anyone who is more advanced and doesn't need each project completely spelt out. For you I have distilled each project down to its essential steps meaning you can read that and dive right in. Review: Very descriptive - Sometimes I learn better with pictures, other times I need words. This book has both, and itโs very helpful to have different ways to learn. She also provides a lot of helpful tips and explanation as to how the pattern works. Review: Excellent Resource - I've wanted this book for awhile, because I love Book 1. It did not disappoint. Good information , both in terms of "projects" but also practical information for making your own designs.

The wonderful photography, is way beyond belief
I received my book Geometric Beadwork and I have to say this is certainly eye candy for the soul. The wonderful photography, is way beyond belief. The author goes out of her way to give the best explanations as possible. And although it is a very large book. I would have rather had it using spiral binding rather than just a regular book. I do not want to have to crack the spine of the book. But all the juicy tidbits of information that this contains, it is hard not to crack the spine of the book. I cannot wait to get started and then purchasing the next book she has out on the market. This is a tribute to a wonderfully talented lady who know what she is doing and giving permission to make and give away or make and sell. Is such a wonderous and most generous offering to those who pick this book up and just start reading it.

Spectacular book!
This is a very well-written easy-to-follow book filled with lots of instructions and and great illustrations! Many pictures and ideas are also included in this book. Jean is a great teacher and this book is beautifully written and this is a "Beading Bible" to me! This is a must for any intermediate to advanced beader!

Buy this book!
I should have bought this book years ago. With clear stitch diagrams and brilliant color, this book gives you the knowledge and encourages you to use it to create. As Jean Power says, "Experiment. This is how you learn new things..."

Super Book
I would highly recommend this book to beaders like myself who don't particularly wish to make lacey little pretty necklaces. I did baulk at first at the price, but have always admired Jean Power's work, and decided to treat myself. The book is beautifully produced, the instructions are clear & well-written. Having said all that, not all of the techniques are new and some can be found in other books, but her interpretation is that little bit different, so 5 stars !

Fabulous!
Buy it now. The patterns are easy to follow and very pretty. I made mine in size 10 beads as I was playing, but that made the items way too big. I might try size 15 beads next time, but they are quite expensive so may play with all patterns before deciding which one to go for. The bigger the contrast in colours, the better the design looks.

One of the best purchases I have made so far
Some of the designs are challenging enough for advanced beaders while others are simple enough for beginners. I haven't been able to put this book down since I received it few days ago. One of the best purchases I have made so far. Highly recommended.
