Beadwoven Glamour: Crystal-embellished jewelry

This is a nice book. The directions are very clear and easy to follow. This seller is unbelievably slow to ship. I ordered this book and it took them 3 weeks before they shipped it out.

In 2019, I had opportunity to attend one of Isabell's instructional classes. I was able to see many of the patterns from the book as completed designs. I can tell you that photos can never do these patterns justice! Take the leap, buy the book, and create to hearts content. These designs are worth your time, effort and money. If you ever have opportunity to take a class I hope you do...Isabella is as lovely as her designs.

Excellent instructions and clear illustrations. , The projects are absolutely. I highly recommend this book. I typically struggle with following patterns, but not with Isabella. I’ve previously purchased one of her books, and have purchased patterns from her Etsy shop. Side note: I had the pleasure of meeting Isabella this past week during two of her classes at San Diego Beader’s Dream Retreat, and she is a very nice person.

I absolutely love the book. The jewelry is beautiful, the instructions are easy to follow and the pictures enhances the learning experience. Everything about this book is spectacular. I am now a fan of Isabella Lam. The Ofelia Necklace is going to be the first project. All the projects are as beautiful or better than the necklace on the front of the book. This is a must for any beader.

I haven't done any of the projects yet, but the instructions seem quite clear and well illustrated. I found at least five pieces I would like to make. looks like a great book to learn more about using crystals and shaped beads.

These patterns make up into gorgeous jewelry pieces!! Must be experienced in knowing how to bead weave.

The book instructions and pictures are bright and easy to follow.

This book is too complicated for me. The bead weaving overwhelms the use of crystals. I think my style is more simplistic and I want to really showcase the Crystal instead of the bead weaving. Returning the book. It’s beyond my skill set.

Item delivered is as described

Well produced and designed book. Easy to understand patterns will be enjoyable to use.

Für alle, die glamorösen Schmuck lieben und diesen mit Nadeln und Faden selbst herstellen, ist dieses Buch von Isabella Lam ein Muss. Meines Erachtens ist es momentan das beste Buch, das sich am Markt befindet. Das Buch beeinhaltet 20 Projekte, welche hauptsächlich aus den neuen tschechischen Perlensorten, japanischen Rocailles und Kristallsteinen/-perlen der Firma Swarovski gearbeitet sind. Wem das zu kostpielig wird, kann auf chinesische Kristalle ausweichen ;o) . Bei den Anleitungen ist jeder Schritt in Wort und Bild erklärt. Sollte man nicht so gut Englisch können, keine Sorge,die Diagramme sind großzügig und kontrastreich ausgeführt. Isabella Lam verstehtes meisterhaft, mit Farben zu spielen. Durch die Formenvielfalt verschiedener Perlen und Kristallsteinen entstehen so einzigartige Schmuck-Kompositionen. Die Fotos der fertigen Schmuckstücke sowie weitere Farboptionen sind wunderschön anzusehen. Sie machen sofort Lust, die eigenen Perlen zu schnappen und loszulegen.

The book arrived today. Although the projects are well made and different they are not to my taste. Due to this the book does not spark anything in me to wish to reproduce anything. I feel the style of jewellery would be very much appreciated by those who live in the authors location. Saying that I have still given 4 stars as the book is well written with good pictures and graphics.

Loved that the patterns are mega easy and has some stunning patterns.
