JAPANESE BEADWORK with SONOKO NOZUE

JAPANESE BEADWORK with SONOKO NOZUE 25 Jewelry Designs from a Master Artist Published by LARK CRAFTS An Imprint of Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. A part of Lark Jewelry & Beadweaving Master Class ABOUT THE AUTHOR: SONOKO NOZUE began teaching bead class in Nagoya in 1995. She began teaching at BEAD & BUTTON in 2005. Three years later she was the first international instructor invited to teach a Master Class at that event. Sonoko has been highly praised by Nancy Cain, Melanie Potter, Diane Fitzgerald and Jill Wiseman just to mention a few. Sonoko is a star in the beading world and her brilliance shines for all to see in this 127 page hardcover rich and rewarding publication.

A few words that describe the designs in this book would be: Elegant, Lavish, gorgeous, luxurious, stunning, vibrant, brilliant, outstanding, beautiful, feminine and my very own word for this book is FABTABULOUS!... When using this book you will need to be able to follow written and diagrammed instructions . Each project has a supply list as well as detailed diagrams. The designs are very wearable adornments and if cared for could become family heirlooms. Diane Fitzgerald said and I quote: "These exquisitely beautiful jewelry designs capture the delicacy and grace of the Japanese aesthetic for both novice and experienced beaders to enjoy."
