Bead Simple
I’m a craft junkie, but I’ve never quite mastered the art of handmade jewelry. I’m hoping Bead Simple will help. Susan Beal (one of my favorite crafty bloggers) will soon be releasing a how to book about designing your own jewelry. I however was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy and I have some scans to share with you guys, so you can also be excited.
There are a total of 150 pieces in the book, Using vintage and unusual materials, like hardware store bits and pieces. She made sure the readers could dip into their stashes or stop by the thrift store to make a project instead of spending a lot of money. As a girl on a budget I can totally appreciate that.

Very cute…I was lucky to have an uncle that is a Jewlery Designer and would hook me up with all the tools to make my own, which I did for years and still have boxes hanging about at my folks of german glass beads and anything else for pretty things…
But very cute book

Oh I use to love beading so much punky, but I don’t have time for that stuff anymore! *sad face*
