The near infinite array of beads available to the crafter makes beading a particularly fun and exciting form of creative expression. To help spark your creativity, we have put together this collection of 45 beading craft projects, including jewelry sets, necklaces and earrings. We have also included a handful of home décor projects using beads and beading techniques.
Beading doesn’t get more elegant than this, with such gleaming gems as amethyst, quartz, and lapis lazuli. Valérie MacCarthy—whose work graces the pages of high fashion magazines around the world—has created a magnificent collection of sophisticated, unique jewelry. The 30 projects include bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings, and they tend to the playful and colorful. In addition, an entire section is dedicated to the different stones and their properties, including their spiritual and healing aspects.
