This book, although written in Russian, is wonderful. The graphs, in gray & white or color, are so clear, that one does not need to know how to read Russian to understand. The projects are so varied and so different...Collars, Necklaces, Earrings...Netted, Loomed, Needle-woven...Animals, Flowers, Geometrics. Anything and everything that you've ever wanted to try in beadwork is here. Also, the colored pictures of the projects are very good. This book is a must for anyone who wants to try something daring, different, and beautiful in beadwork!

This book is in my top five for all-time-best. It has a wide and diverse variety of beading techniques, and you don't need to be able to read Russian to understand the diagrams. They are clear and easy to understand. It also contains an excellent gallery of beaded jewelry photos for inspiration. Definitely a must-have for the daring and creative beader.
