Susan Beal, an uber-talented maker and a dear friend, has just announced her new book, Bead Simple. I’m super excited about this one! Susan has such a great eye for jewelry — her designs manage to feel both modern and vintage at once. And her construction methods are ingenious. (And I love, love, love this cover design.)
I was honored to contribute a bead-and-wire pendant design to Bead Simple, joining a pretty impressive list of contributors.
Be sure to put this one on your Amazon pre-order list! It comes out in March 2008. And keep an eye on the new Bead Simple website – Susan will be putting video tutorials and beading resources up there soon!
