The Beader's Color Palette by Margie Debb

These days you can find beading books by the dozens at your local book stores, but most of them give you the same old info as everyone else and bland, boring projects that even your 5 year old could do. But once in a while there comes a beading book that has something different, fun, fashionable designs that are more intricate, more "adult". The Beader's Color Palette is one of those books. A beading book with glamour that can inspire you and take you into new worlds.

Margie Deeb, author of The Beader's Color Palette, fills this book of hers with 20 amazingly creative projects and 220 inspired combinations for beaded and gemstone jewelry that is eye-popping and not necessarily for the beginning beader.

The Beader's Color Palette is a lesson in color and culture, covering the elements even. Included at the end of the book are directions for beading basic, that includes stringing, off-loom weaving and loom weaving.

Now, you may find yourself wondering why I've referred to this book with the word "cultural". That would be because not only does this book give you creative jewelry ideas from the sea shore, feathered friends, tropical forests and the celestial bodies, but it also takes you into Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, Latin America, Africa and so much more. You will be inspired and amazed by everything this book has to offer and will teach you about beading.

If you are a beading enthusiast you will definitely want this fabulous book to add to your collection. You won't be able to put it down until you've traveled through the entire book and then you'll be anxious to get started on all of your favorite projects inside.
