I think you'll find that they were both worth the investment, they're chock full of eye candy and useful tips. I hope you'll share pictures of what you make :)AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-69595097298249350392008-05-24T13:43:00.000-07:002008-05-24T13:43:00.000-07:00Thanks for the book recomendations, our local Bord...Thanks for the book recomendations, our local Borders actually had 2 of them and another I wanted. I never buy books full price, but after I looked at them and was standing there holding them, I couldn't put them back! I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember where I found my inspiring piece!:( I'm like a ping pong ball with ADD on on the internet. It was in a flicker group and I've tried to retrace my clicks, but I think it might be lost in cyberspace. I did think to write down the artist, Sandfibers, who has a Etsy shop! (But of course the piece wasn't there!)In fact her pendants in the shop were pretty tame compared to the beauty I saw. Anyway, if I every find it again, I'll let you know. And thanks for the book list! (I actually want to try both styles now!)Carlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052412384877288768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-16935373960138566712008-05-23T14:18:00.000-07:002008-05-23T14:18:00.000-07:00Ah, mine has that shelf, too, but I keep shoes up ...Ah, mine has that shelf, too, but I keep shoes up there, boxes for electronics, and the boxes of slippers -- I go through a pair every three months and I buy four pairs when they go on sale near the Winter Shopping Holiday.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I just got the van back -- it was brake pads in the front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-50711314985731915152008-05-22T22:01:00.000-07:002008-05-22T22:01:00.000-07:00Marilee, the bedroom closet has a really sturdy sh...Marilee, the bedroom closet has a really sturdy shelf running its length, so most of our novels are on that, piled as high as I could reach.

If you're looking for instructions for an open-backed bezel, especially for a rivoli, then you'll want Laura McCabe's crystal book, which I can't recall the name of off the top of my head.<BR/><BR/>If you're wanting to glue a cab down and embroider around it, you'll want Kummli and Serafini's Art of Bead Embroidery. There's a different book by someone else called Beading with Cabachons which has lots of nice eye candy, but I don't like her bezeling technique as much.<BR/><BR/>If you can send me a picture of the piece that has you inspired, I may be able to narrow down the recommendation :)AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398414928556655066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-6181756337250810592008-05-22T18:41:00.000-07:002008-05-22T18:41:00.000-07:00Books get their own closet?Books get their own closet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28693503.post-79465237574060348042008-05-22T08:20:00.000-07:002008-05-22T08:20:00.000-07:00I'm a day late, but your necklace is great! (And ...I'm a day late, but your necklace is great! (And I'm very inpressed with that macro setting!) And speaking of projects, did you comment about doing a beaded bezel a while ago? I've seen a piece that has inspired me and even if I only do one in my lifetime, I think I'd like to try. Can you recommend a book that'll get me started? I have never woven or worked with seed beads in that arena. And since your pieces are so amazing, I'm hoping you can help me get started with some book advice. Thanks!Carlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052412384877288768noreply@blogger.com
