Book Review - Vintage Style Beaded Jewellery

Title: Vintage-Style Beaded Jewellery
Author: Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell
This is a beautifully photographed book full of delicious eye candy projects that will inspire anyone interested in creating vintage-style bead jewellery.
Due to the nature of the beads etc used, there are no suppliers lists as such, so if you are looking for this sort of information this is not where you will find it! It's an easy book to read and would probably suit a beading beginner. I also think it is a perfect coffee table book to flick through.
In my opinion, I think this book is really best used as a way to get visual inspiration rather than being used as a reference book. The instructions are a little vague and I would like to have read more on the history of the vintage beads used. It's still a lovely one to have in your library though!
