But one book that I bought a year ago, while I was on vacation, is Stephanie Lee's "Semi-precious Salvage". I adore this book and have adapted several of the jewelry-making techniques into my personal and professional work. Stephanie's work is truly inspiring and she is a goddess for being so open with her techniques. <br /><br />I also think the internet in general is a limitless treasure chest of great how-to's! <br /><br />Hey--October 27th is my birthday--wouldn't the Enchanted Adornments make an awesome birthday surprise? :-)!<br /><br />MollieMollie Valentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876388342061241591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-26885035611646820462009-10-22T13:06:22.990-04:002009-10-22T13:06:22.990-04:00I try to buy books that are heavy on techniques--s...I try to buy books that are heavy on techniques--since I rarely complete any of the projects in books, I try not to buy project books.

The book I used the most as a beginner was a softcover booklet from the craft store called "Beading 101". I currently have Chainstyle & Enchanted Adornments on my christmas list. I also look for any publications that have Lorelei designs in them. Hearts to you.

They need to have more than just projects because the idea is to learn techniques and how to translate those techniques into my own personal style. Projects can be good, in order to practice techniques but it can't be just projects.<br />My most very recent book? Rice Freeman-Zachery's Living The Creative Life.<br />Thanks for the opportunity to win!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235753500084196007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-29799883708318901942009-10-20T12:47:55.030-04:002009-10-20T12:47:55.030-04:00I usually buy beading books to learn new technique...I usually buy beading books to learn new techniques, but occasionally I buy one simply because it's beautiful.
