Lark Crafts

What a wonderful give away!! I love to do bead weaving although I have less time to do it than I would like. My problem is usually time constraints – more designs that take less time would be a topic I’d love … or maybe designs meant to be given as gifts that don’t take half a lifetime to execute.

Linda

Amazingly generous giveaway! I would love to see some jewelery books that use multi-mediums, such as metal work with beading. The metal work portion, needs to show how to solder connections and cold connection methods. Or throw polymer clay in with the mix too.

-Leslie

Wow, wonderful give away. Love the books. I like to work bead weaving adding my polymer clay beads.

What a fantastic giveaway!!! I adore all of the authors, this would be an amazing gift!!!

Wow what a wonderful giveaway this is. Hope I am the lucky winner I love doing things like this.

Everything you guys publish is so wonderful that this would be such an incredible addition to my library.

Wow–what an amazing collection of books!

What an incredible giveaway! While I already have Diane’s, Laura’s, and Marcia’s book on my shelves and Sherry’s book is “on order,” I would gladly pass on the unsigned copies in my own blog drawing were I to win this! Whoever came up with the idea for this series is a genius, by the way!

What a beautiful book. I want to so bad to learn how to bead!

The photography really makes these books! Wonderful, inspirational pictures.

That these artists of their high caliber are willing to pass their knowledge to all of us is amazing. Every book is a gold mine of information. Of course it doesn’t hurt that the photographs are luscious. If I had to choose one of them – and I can’t – I’d love to see more books authored by Diane Fitzgerald. But that’s just my humble opinion because I’m in awe of all of these artists.

Nothing better for inspiration than sitting with a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning surrounded with books like these. I have Marcia’s book and it perfectly named – such luscious projects. The other books look equally fantastic. Thanks for the opportunity to win them!

Wonderful giveaway! I would love to win this! Of course the artist I think you should consider has already replied to the giveaway. Carol Dean Sharpe does awesome work!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/SandFibers?ref=top_trail

A bead book jackpot – that’s what this is! You already have all my favorite designers listed, so there’s not much I can add there.

Thanks for the chance to win these,
Grace

Holy smokes! Giving away books? I’m in…as far as designers go…I don’t really know who else you could add to this list, it’s awesome!

Yes in deed, this is really nice of Lark Books to do. It would be great to see some more from the 500 series possibly revisiting hollowware, enamel or perhaps some thing more open that is by state.

Oh wow! Quite a line up of books coming. I can’t wait!

Love, Love all beadweaving books

I was going to suggest Cynthia Rutledge, but then I saw her on your list. Love this series.

I love the shaped beadwork book! Look how beautiful they are!

I’d love to see enameling covered as a jewelry topic.

I love all the seed bead books! I would like to see something with different projects mixing art glass and seed beads

Love all your books. Would like to see more wireworking books. Also more on beginning metal. But am loving the dimensional/bead embroidery.

Dimensional beading has revived my love of jewelry. Until the last few years I’ve found jewelry to be boring and uninspired. As an aspiring fashion designer, I am impressed and envious of the designs I’ve seen sprout up in the jewelry fashion world in the last couple years and would love to gain more knowledge on the techniques used to bring a new element to my own fashions!

I love all of the these authors. Their work has always amazed me.

Thank you for introducing us to these amazing bead artists. I look forward to see where you take us next. Thank you for your generous giveaways.

Since you have Cynthia Rutledge & Sabine Lippert on your list, I don’t know who else I could suggest. I’m just eagerly awaiting their books!

I’d love to see books that help me make beautiful, eye-catching, rich-looking jewelry for less money. Maybe tips on making glass shine like crystal through innovative techniques, ideas for using a few, more expensive beads with a bunch of more mundane beads to good effect, etc. Or a book on making your own findings with simple household tools, but that still look professional. I also like beadery that makes a big impact for less fiddly work – I’m not terribly tolerant of “fiddly”… every once in a while, but not day by day.

How about Dustin Wedekind (sp?), Kate McKinnon, or Paulette Baron?

I would love to see more books about steam punk and technical guidance on how to work with it.

Oh my word what a fab give away!!! I’m so excited, my fingers and toes are crossed!

I love the assortment of books you have listed and I’m enormously thrilled to hear that Sabine Lippert will be represented soon as well! As for books I’d like to see from my favorite jewelry artists: Leslee Frumin! Also, beginner level books on wire wrapping/weaving, advanced chain maille and beginner metal smithing. Thanks for letting me put in my .02!

I’m a lampworker and am just getting acquainted with beadweaving. I have lots and lots to learn. These books would be so great to help me through the learning curve! How about a title that teaches a lampworker to use some of their own beads in beadweaving? I think you’d have a sure hit! Here’s hoping maybe I’ll be selected to receive the books! What fun!

The cover of Laura McCabe’s book made me drool (… and so did Sherry Serafini’s and the others). I’m a jewelry artist, but have not really worked with seed beads much. Looking at this beautiful work makes me want to start, though. I hope I win!!

I am totally addicted to beading, and I have these fabulous designers to thank for giving me inspiration and instruction. I already own Diane Fitzgerald’s breathtaking volume, and would love to add to my (and my local library’s) collection! My current jewelry designs use found objects (beach glass, corals, shells, etc) which I peyote stitch into intricate focal pieces. My goal as an artist is to master large works using Diane’s and Laura McCabe’s techniques to bump up my game.

I would really like to see Cynthia Rutledge and Eva Maria Keiser published.They are loved dearly by all serious bead weavers.

Great books. I would love to see information on combining with metal work and glass fusing.

These books look great! Since I am just a newbie, I don’t really know enough about any of the artists to comment on them, but being as I’m just starting to learn even the most basic of stitches, the books would be of tremendous value to me. Thanks for offering such a great contest.

Oh, yes! I would love to win this! I’m trying to learn all about this kind of beading and the books would be so helpful. Thanks for making them available.

I’d love to see books by Todd Reed or Andy Cooperman – Todd has such an iconic style and Andy is such a character that I know any book he wrote would be both fun and educational!

I have Diane Fitzgerad’s Shaped Beadwork and love it! I would be thrilled to win the collection – even just 1 of them.

This entire series is a MUST HAVE !!!

What a wonderful & generous giveaway.
A possible future artist (that are not already slated to publish) – Jill Wiseman !

What a fabulous group of books!! Personally I’d like to see some more glass books(lampworking techniques and maybe fusing glass and metal)
Thanks for this opportunity to win these beautiful books!!
~Sharon~

You know, Beth Stone’s work to date doesn’t have the “opulence” that is found in Marcia DeCoster’s book — as well as the others so far in the series. Her seed bead weaving books are incredibly helpful and inspiring — but I’m not sure that all she can be is demonstrated in those books. Of course that is for good reason — she encourages “bead play” and other tips and techniques to help the beader create his/her own designs. So I’d love to see more put-together projects by Beth Stone, who clearly has a wonderful imagination. What would she do if she could sit down and work more intense projects (without fluttering around as in her work to date)!

What a generous give-away, thank you.
Such wonderful books from great bead-artists.

I’d love a chance to enter and would love to see more crochet and knitting with beads
Thanks!

oh how beautiful! what an awesome giveaway!

I would like to see some books related to jewelry metalsmithing.

I’d love some guidance in combining different shapes, sizes and colors, not in a project format, but alternatives and choices and what happens when you make different choices. I quilted for years, and often they showed one quilt in a few different colorways, either the author’s work or works of their students. It was very illuminating, and I’d love that in an advanced level beading book, particularly with cabuchons or found pieces involved.

Beautiful! and awesome.
These are must have for whoever love to make jewelry or beading including me

I would be thrilled to own all of these books – specially Sherry Serafini’s as I’m a bead embroidery addict!

I like beading and these books look great! I’d love to see some new books on incorporating color in metalwork: enameling, colored pencils, concrete. . .

I like beading and these books look great! I’d love to see some new books on incorporating color in metalwork: enameling, colored pencils, concrete. . .

What a great giveaway! I love the inspiration! Thanks!

What a great idea, free inspiration:). I’m looking forward to enjoying learning more creative jewelry ideas and techniques. Thanks for putting these books together. In the future, I’d like to see books with step by step color photos and detailed technique assistance on: pmc clay, enamel on metal, glass blown beads, ie: small scale jewelry projects. Love and Blessings, MCC

I’m not sure what new ideas I’d like to see in a beading book but maybe a book on making one’s own beads out of metal clay and other mediums? Count me in on the drawing…

Sherry Serafini’s new book is a welcome delight to the Master Class series.

Awesome books!! I’m new to bead weaving and bead embroidery so, I’m looking to learn anything and everything about these topics. I love Sherri Serafini’s and Marcia DeCoster’s work.

Love the give away and love to be inspired! I am a lampworker, but love to use every way to embelish my final work. It would to be great to see another glassbead book!

You’ve got some inspiring pieces on the covers, as usual! It would be great for me to share this knowledge with my students, as I’m also an art teacher at a public inner-city middle school and I recently starting teaching beadwork to them. Half the books in my art classroom are from me and my co-teacher’s collection, because, seeing as every student in the whole school has art once a week, we are always trying to make sure we have enough materials, tools and books to engage a wide range of learning styles.

I would like to see metal jewelry artist Tamra Gentry featured in one of your books and a book that highlights the accomplishments of metalsmiths of African American descent, as we seem to be far and few between in books and publications.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I have shared the link and the only comment I have to wow. I have long admired all these artists work and would love to have signed copies of the book. I was lucky enough to meet Laura McCabe last year when she was in the UK and am hoping to one day meet the other designers too.

What a wonderful collection of books by extraordinarily gifted artists!! I’m sharing this with all of my Facebook friends!

I am looking forward all your books, but it would be nice to have more wire jewelry publications!

What a lineup of great books! Any one of them is great inspiration – all four is just over the top!!

Gwen Youngblood

OMG, those have to be the BEST beading books yet….drool! drool! You’ve pretty much covered my favorite artists. There are a few more I can think of whose work I’d love to see featured in a book of their own…Cynthia Rutledge being one of them.

Y’all just keep coming up with great books!! which all eventually wind up in my library!! Looking forward to Sherry’s new book and all the others you’ve mentioned to tease us all with!
Bead Wishes and Dragonfly Dreams, Cyn

These books look stunning. Sherry Serafini is my beading role models. The skill level of these women makes my head spin. Good stuff.

Wow! What a giveaway! I’d love to win. I would also love to see a book on felting – there are some amazing felted vessels being created by Shirley Cook that incorporate beads and ceramic objects. And another book I’d love to see would be about Kumihimo with beads. Jamie North does some amazing Kumihimo work with wire and Adrienne Gaskell also does some beautiful beaded Kumihimo jewelry. Thanks!

Thanks for providing this awesome opportunity! Love all the beading artists you have done so far and have in the works. Would love to see books done by Heidi Kummli and Robin Atkins, too.

I would love to see a book by Cynthia Rutledge, her designs her luscious! Excited to read that Marcia has another book in progress and look forward to Sabine’s book next year!

Adding these books to my collection would be a real bonus. The autors are all so knowledgeable and convey their knowledge in ways the average beader can easily understand. Looking forward to the new books coming up as well.

I love all the books you have coming out lately. There are so many great artists. I think you’ve done a wonderful job picking the artist who represent the bead world.

Stunning

I work with recycled zippers, I would love to see a bit more in the mainstream about recycling. I’ve seen some gorgeous work from people using fabrics etc. Having said that, the books look stunning.

What a super offer for us Lark Masters Series Beading books!!

What a super offer for us fans of the Lark “BEADING” Master Class Series Books!! Absolutely must have books for your beading library!!

What a wonderful prize!! All these authors are such wonderful artists, it would be fabulous to own these treasures!

This would be such a great prize. I’ve just started beading my embroidery projects and to have these books from such amazing experts would be fabulous!!!!! I’m so glad I accidently got lost and found your website!

These books would be wonderful to have to learn from Great giveaway.

O how I would love to win this!!!!! If I don’t then I’ll just have to go buy the books – they look great!!!

Wow! Great books!!! Love them all!
I would like to find a book about tricks and tips for jewelry making. The kind of tricks that you learn at workshops but Cheers!

Wow! Great books!!! Love them all!
I would like to find a book about tricks and tips for jewelry making. The kind of tricks that you learn at workshops but are never mentioned in books.
Cheers!

These books would be a wonderful addition to my beading library

I’d love to see a book that details some really intricate wedding jewelry projects… stuff that would NOT be for beginners and would be elegant.

I love to read beading books, they are as full of inspiration as their authors, the very talented beaders that they are. I can not pick a favorite author but if I were forced to do so, Marcia DeCoster is currently at the top of my list.

CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR SHERRY SERAFINI’S NEW BOOK, I ALREADY HAVE THE OTHER THREE. BUT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AUTOGRAPHED COPIES.. KAREN IN CALIF.

These books look wonderful.
I would love to see information on just getting started with beading, tools, good classes, etc. This has been very hard to find.

To bad the giveaway is only open to U.S and B.C. residents. I would’ve loved a chance to win these drool worthy books. Yum!

(Oops — not sure where I got BC from in my previous comments. I guess the bibliophile in me was too preoccupied oogling the books to notice what I wrote. )

Abolutely to die for~~~ I would LOVE to have these books!

I love this series of books! I am a mom working outside the home and I don’t have a lot of time for beading. I would like to see a book of smaller-scale projects that don’t take as long to make, but still incorporating the beadweaving that I love. Thanks for the giveaway!

What a great way to make beautiful articles. Joan

Awesome set of books. Looking forward to the new ones also!

I have been a great fan of both Marcia DeCoster and Diane Fitzgerald since I discovered beading 4 years ago. I love seeing how many different ways that we can apply the bead stitches. Many of these books show lush and beautiful projects – I would love to see Lark books publish a book on bead jewlery that you could dress-up or dress-down, not necessarily all of the swarovski – which looks intimidating to some.

Four books!!! wow! I have many books, but I don’t have any of these. Would love to win them!

This is such a wonderful giveaway! I would love to have these books! Bead embroidery is so incredible. I would love to see more of it. Lark always has great titles. Thanks for the chance!
Jen ~ bluedesertrose(at)hotmail(dot)com

Would love to have these fantastic ladies sitting on my shelves!

Would love to see a book on Kumihimo.

Yikes, I don’t know which book I’d drool over first! They all look tres magifique!!! And the idea of creating beads FROM beads…OMG. It never ends!! I’ve got to keep learning new techniques or my 10,000 lbs. of stach will never decrease! I’m crossing my fingers for a win.

What a terrific offer. And I love the oppulence of the jewelry shown.

I would love to win these books, which I would share with my daughter. What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you.

These would be a great addition to my small but growing collection of beading books.

Already have pre-ordered 2 of these books; now drooling over the other 2!

Wow what an oppertunity to have these books as my own, I do like the hours of insperation and knowlege they wil inspire!!

How beautiful ! I love Lark books and can’t wait to get these into my collection ! The photos are amazing !

I would live to win some signed books, so please put me in the draw for this!
Will also share the link on Face book.
Would you like me to put anything on the Association for Contemporary Jewellery Page or my own Skeels page too??

I love beading books! I have some that are falling apart because I look at them so much! Would be great to add these ones to my collection!

really great to have discovered this web site! would love to win the books they look amazing

I have taken classes with all four of these exception women – I’m sure these books are as awesome as they are!

What gorgeous looking books – as a teacher of beadwork for beginners, in London UK, the work in these books would be a fantastic inspiration to both me and my students. The cover images look beautiful.

These books would be really useful to me and help me devlop new ideas of how to develop my work.

Beautiful art! Creating is the key to a better world!

One can never have too many craft/art jewelry bks…!

what a great giveaway — I am always looking for new ideas and love to see the differing styles of each artist. I would love to win these books they would be so inspiring!

I already have Diane Fitzgerald’s Shaped Beadwork and Laura McCabe’s Embellished Beadweaving, and I’ve preordered Sherry Serafini’s Sensational Bead Embroidery, but I’m missing Marcia DeCoster’s Beaded Opulence. If I have signed copies, as Carol, I would pass my unsigned copies to my beadingmates in our local beadweaving group, they would be very happy.

I own a very small bead store and would love to use these as giveaway. I have started a Freebie Friday this year and have been teaching out books and magazines to teach my customers how to read a pattern on their own so they won’t be scared to purchase these books and magazines. Maybe in March I could give a book away too.

These books look great – very inspiring.

What a great collection! I teach jewelry classes for our local art centers and tech school – everything from beading & wirework to silversmithing, stonecutting, PMC and enamels. These would give me a tone of great new projects for my students. I’m always challenging them to try something new and these books would really inspire them.

I would so love to have these books in my library! There is just so much to learn from others….and these kind of books further everyone’s skills.
I would love to see books about beaded beads of all kinds and methods…..and more on peyote stitch with delicas…..personal favorites of mine!

I agree with Carol Dean Sharpe….and I also have Diane’s, Laura’s, and Marcia’s book on my shelves….and Sherry’s on order. What a fabulous idea!!! It’s hard to suggest any others, except you need to take a look at Heather Collin’s work….amazing and gorgeous!!!

I would LOVE to win signed copies of these books! Cant wait to see Sherrys book out this summer, already know the others are great books!

I would love to add those books to my collection of Lark books. While Marcia lives here by me, I have never gotten her book(don’t know why). Thanks for doing this give away!
Ann Rosier

Wow! This is a fantastic giveaway!! My bead library sorely needs all four of these books!! I would just about pass out from happiness if I won!!!!

I have a ‘bead night’ at my house every Tuesday evening. Wait until I tell the girls about this!! Thanks you sooooo much. Good luck everybody; wish we all could win.

Thank you for selecting Diane Fitzgerald! Her books are the best! So easy to follow!

I would love these books to add to my collection of jewelry books. They would stimulate me to try something new, and push me out of my comfort zone! Thanx for the opportunity to win them!

These look like incredable books

Wow, very cool!!

Nice selection!! I’d love to have them:)

WOW! These books are amazing, I would love to add this to my library, what a great reference to start learning bead weaving techniques.

I am not an artist and that is one of the reasons I love these books. I can create things that would not be possible to do on my own. The authors share their knowledge and inventiveness with me and inspire me to try things out of my comfort zone. I have never tried the bead embroidery but it looks so beautiful I just cannot wait to try it. I have such fun with this and enjoy showing off the finished products so much. Also being able to create something beautiful to give to family and friends is just the best part of the fun. Thanks for sharing with an artistically challenged person.

I would love, love, love to have all of these awesome books in my library! I am so looking forward to Sherry’s especially.

I would love to see a book dedicated to a marriage of traditional metal smithing techniques AND traditional bead weaving techniques. Generally, you see books where beading techniques are being employed to secure focal objects (cabochons, found objects, gems, etc…) What I would LOVE to see is a book where it is the other way around. Metal jewelry featuring beaded objects.

I’d love to win these books! I’m always eager for new ideas.

Hmmmm. . . titles I’d like to see. . . Making beads out of alternative materials? Enameled beads? Fabric beads? Found object beads?

I want to eat these womens creations. I am in awe of their talent.

These are all wonderful books!

These would be awesome to have as I have mainly done wire work, there are so many possibilities!

I would love to own those books. Would look good with all my other beadweaving books. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Wow, great books on beadwork!!! I am a metal clay artist. I also would like to see a book on step-by-step techniques to complement metal clay creations.

I’d LOVE to add this one to my beading library! I already own the rest in the Master’s Class series and adore Sherry’s work. I also would like to see a book dedicated to mixed media projects (particularly mixing metals with beadweaving).

I am new to your site. I am not sure if you have this, but I would like to see simple seed beading projects, with colored charts. Something else that would help someone who has not tried a certain technique, is a video showing how it is worked.

would like to see a really good book with step by step instructions for all kinds of stitches…peyote, brick, etc.

I’d love a book that co-mingled traditional design concepts with contemporary bead, metal and polymer clay jewelry.

This is absolutely amazing work that is done. I am thrilled to see the talent and thought that has gone into each piece that I have see. I have two sons that are sheet metal welders and both have talents that they have used to make and incorporate their talents into their work.

The talent possessed by these women has reinvented beadwork and catapulted into the modern world.

I would love to win these fabulous books!

Three of these books are on my wish list, and I own Marcia DeCoster’s Beaded Opulence, which I love! Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest. I love working with fused glass and the PMC Silver Syringe. It might be fun to have a book which incorporates PMC decorated cabochons and handmade beads with the more traditional seed bead styles.

These are beautiful – would love to add them to my collection.

I would love to see a book or a series of books that would showcase both Bead Masters, as well as Lampwork Masters such as, Melanie Moertel, Cynthia Tilker, Sharon Peters, Michou. Pascale Anderson, Angela Brack Rogge, Corina Tettinger and so on. I would like to see a correlation between the glass bead artists and the bead artists, to create jewelry pieces that would inspire both medium Masters to create new and exciting jewelry. please….. :0)

These books, they look so nice. They are full of ideas and just the right price. I want to own them all, someday. And maybe chance will go my way.

Wow What a great giveaway. I would love to see a book that show how to use leftover beads and findings to make up things so we can use up more of our stash.

I would like to see a book on weaving with wire showing several different patterns. And I would love to win the books!

Wonderful giveaway! Wire is always a wonderful subject for a new book. So much you can do with it!

This is an amazing and inspiring “Give-Away”. I can only say Thank You for thinking of your customers so kindly. When it comes to Beading Books my favorites are: Stitch Primers, with everything from beginner to advanced; Embellishments of all types; Bead Embroidery of all types & Embroidery with found objects, & last but not least anything by Sherri Serafini (yea!!!) and Heidi Kummli;
Thanks again!!! Karen aka DesertGator aka Gator’sLittleBeads

I would be a willing recipent of these books. I am already absorbed it Diane’s book and would welcome the chance to get my teeth into the others. Fingers crossed. Dani.C

Please put a book on Bead Loom Designs on your schedule.

I would love to add these books to my collection

Lark craft books are some of the best books available. I just wish that we could still mail order direct from Lark books. I bought a very small hand loom and would like to see an insturctional book on that. I want to learn how to make bracelets, some with beads, on the loom and can only find insturctional books for bigger looms. I love bead jewelry and these books look fantastic!

I’d love to see instruction for making really unique jewelry from buttons. So far I can’t get beyond the real basics.

I have already purchased Diane Fitzgerald so it’s time I explored these other great artists. Thank you to Lark for a great giveaway.

What an opportunity this is to receive all of these books at once. I have Marcia and Laura’s books and have Sherry’s newest one on order, however, I do not have Diane’s book. I just started a blog recently and I really like Carol’s idea about giving away the books on my blog, so that’s what I would do as well. Good Luck to Everyone,

Oh… this is unbelievable. I would do anything to own this series . They are the most inspirational books on beading available and to win this would be a jackpot. Also, I would love Larkbooks to come out with a book on advance wire wrapping incorporating beads of all sizes including cabochons and seed beads.

i’d love to see how to use beading in clothing and other accessories besides jewelry – fun!

This would be a great additional to anyone beading library. Thank you for offering this give away

Fantastic Giveaway! I would love to have these books on my shelf!And I’m sure everyone agrees all of the authors are our “Favorites”.They are truly the “Best Of The Best”!

I love all the books and authors from Lark… It always inspires me to learn something new!! My husband will only wonder where I could put one more book!! LOL!!!

Hola, tengo los libros pero no en papel y sería maravilloso tenerlos firmados por sus autores, me prendo, los abalorios son un vicio, me gustaría ver más de Eny Oken y Suzanne Cooper, son mis preferidas. Gracias por actualizarme con las entregas periódicas que envían, bendiciones, Lidia

I’m always looking for inspiration and these books seem to be filled with it.

I would really use these!

I am a new viewer, so I don’t know exactly what to say, but those magazines will give me somewhere to start. I haven’t been making jewelry long so pick me, pick me…..LOL

Oops I was gonna mention my website. http://www.etsy.com/shop/minardmum

Fortunately, I dont have any of the books and would love to get back into beading!

Excellent!
Great article, I already saved it to my favourite,

I would be so over the top to get even one of these books.  I love to see anything in print on using size 11 beads. This is my favorite bead to work with mixed with crystals of course.
 

I love, love, love Lark Books.  Always such beautiful and inspirational photos.

Thank you for the opportunity to even imagine having all of these books!  I am relatively new to beading, coming from fiber work and weaving, and am completely invigorated with joy at new designs and information.  I am new to this site too, and love it!  Thank you.

I would LOVE to win even one of these books.  It is wonderful to learn a new technique and there seem to be a wealth of them available here.

This is a great offer – thanks!  I would like to see more books on combining techniques like beading and wire working.

This couldn’t be a better giveaway!! I love all the fancy and intricate designs but, I would love to see beautiful pieces that normal every day people could wear, not just a fancy piece waiting on the perfect dress, but a beautiful stunning piece that could be worn every day by the average lady of today.

Wow, wonderful collection from such terrific artists. Love to add it to my beading library!
