| At first glance, the contents of 'Beadwork Creates Necklaces' appears to be a show catalogue of contemporary jewellery - the designs are that inspired and inspiring. But no - it's a pattern book, a collection of 30 sinuous, dazzling, must-have, hand beaded necklaces with complete, easy-to-follow instructions. Using off-loom techniques, stringing, and wirework, this book leads you into the world of necklaces, chokers, collars, and simple strands. Sedate or extravagant for office or for opera, for giving or for keeping. Second in the Beadwork Creates series. Biographies: Jean Campbell is the editor of Beadwork Magazine, the author of 'Bead it with Beadwork', 'Beaded Cords, Chains, Straps & Fringe', and the co-author of 'Beaders Companion'. She holds degrees from the University of Minnesota in Studio Arts and Santa Monica College of Design Arts, and Architecture in Furniture and Product Design.
