Some helpful publications…

I’ve been asked many times for a list of books and magazines I’ve found helpful or inspirational. Here are a few of the titles on my bookshelves.

Beading with Filigree by Cynthia Deis – This is a great book for beginners. It explains the basics with beautiful pictures and easy to understand instructions on how to use simple beading techniques. Information about metal finishes and more advanced techniques are also mentioned. After you’ve practiced Cynthia’s basic lessons, you can add your own creativity to take the examples to the next level and make them your own.
