The Irresistible Bead, Designing & Creating Exquisite Beadwork Jewelry, by Linda Fry Kenzle
Soft cover, 113 pages, illustrated with photos, patterns, process illustrations and designs steps.
Although the title mentions "beadwork" which usually refers to seed bead work, the book actually contains sections on Design Basics, Wirework, Strung Necklaces incorporating seed beads and larger beads, Beading on a Ground (of fabric or leather for example to frame a cabochon), Woven Beadwork with stitches such as Peyote and Brick stitch and finally a section on Polymer clay.
After each of the 20 projects Kenzle has included a "Designer's Notebook" of alternate ideas.
Several useful Appendices covering bead sizes, standard necklace lengths, semi-precious stones, birthstones, design charts and metric conversions, a beader's glossary and more round out the offerings.
