Inspiration Monday Book Review: Sabine Lippert's Beaded Fantasies


Beadweaving is my favorite medium in jewelry making, and as an avid beadweaver, I was thrilled with Sabine Lippert's Beaded Fantasies from Lark Crafts.  This book boasts instructions for 30 gorgeous projects, and I honestly would love to try each and every one of them.

Sabine does a lot of really amazing and different things with beaded bezels, and the way she combines and layers different stitches is as interesting as it is beautiful.  She's got the kind of projects in here that leave me saying, "How did she DO that?" and that is always a fun reaction for a seasoned beader to have.

Les Fleurs by Sabine Lippert
The projects in this book are ornate and intricate.  They are hopelessly romantic and very feminine, and perusing through them will leave you itching to grab your beads and get started!  Perhaps the best part is that as daunting as some of these beauties may look, Sabine gives very clear instructions.  The step by step how-tos and detailed illustrations break it all down into digestable bits, and make these projects quite doable.

You can get a preview and try out one of the patterns in this book for free at the Lark Crafts website.  Once you do, and you get hooked, you can grab your own copy of this amazing book here.
