This book, 1000 Beads, is, in one word: stellar! The juror is the very discerning and amazing art bead creator Kristina Logan. 1000 Beads is both unutterably beautiful just to look at, and, at the same time, an inspiring call to arms to create, for all beadmakers and designers.
I assure you that you will close this book with a sigh of satisfaction, no matter what kind of beads interest you. Offered here are beads (and sets of beads) made of all sorts of materials. There are glass beads, made of all the different kinds of glass,whether soda-lime soft glass, borosilicate glass, sandblasted glass...you name it! There are wool beads and other sorts of fiber beads. There are metal beads and clay beads. Also you will be seeing metal clay beads, and polymer clay beads.
Be prepared as well to see jewelry made from these beads! You are going to get to see some of the greatest artists in the world today creating and also designing not just beads, but necklaces, brooches, pendants and components(like head pins you will adore! See Elizabeth Johnson's work! LOVE!).
From the most dramatic [yet never silly] to the most serene objects and designs, the reader will be allowed to share the creation and thinking process, simply by seeing the collection in this truly remarkable book. It leaves one breathless to recognize that we all are members of a species that can make such astounding luxuriant beauty, and that even such a small thing as paper can be made into a great work of art in the right hands of a true artist (Doris Hausler, "Paper Beads").
You will recognize many of the names of those whose work graces the pages of 1000 Beads.
