Book, "Secrets to Beading Success," A Fire Mountain Gems and Beads® Publication, new edition printed 2013. Sold individually.

Secrets to Beading Success, now in a revised and expanded edition, empowers designers with a collection of valuable jewelry-making "Secrets"--techniques that will come into use again and again over a lifetime of creativity.

The 24 essential Secrets, each clearly explained and illustrated, are used in the book's 14 jewelry projects. The projects build upon one another over the course of the book, increasing the expertise level and the Secrets utilized. Also, the remaining components from each project are incorporated into the projects that follow it.

Secrets to Beading Success illustrates how to blend colors, textures and shapes for one-of-a-kind jewelry designs. Each design is treated to two variations in order to demonstrate the many possibilities of a particular jewelry style. For example, a lovely multi-strand necklace design is rendered first using colorful Czech druk glass beads, and then reinterpreted using precision-faceted crystals.

A perfect gift to yourself or for any special jewelry maker in your life, Secrets to Beading Success is full of savvy Secrets for creating high-quality, high-fashion jewelry that will both flatter and sell!
