Introduction:

Release Your Inner Jewelry Designer!

Remember the days when you were little and had a brand new box of crayons? All of those wonderful colors! You threw caution to the wind and started blending the colors together. When you were done, you had created a colorful work of art that brought a smile to your face. You can have that same exciting and creative experience making beaded jewelry.

Fight the urge to say, “I can’t make jewelry! I’m not creative!” I have been teaching novice beaders for many years, and whenever I start a new class, at least one student doesn’t believe he or she can create jewelry. I am here to silence that inner critic and bring out your inner jewelry designer.

Usually those who say they are not creative are the ones who actually end up with a life-long passion for beading. Why? Because they have learned the secret that so many talented jewelry makers know: Beading allows you to make a wearable work of art in a short amount of time using the colors, materials, and textures you love.

Beads call for you to experiment and play with color combinations in brand new ways, and there is no wrong way to design a piece—only your way. With beading, you are able to express your personal style and passion through jewelry. As you read this book, I will be with you every step of the way, with easy-to-follow instructions, practical hints and tips, and lots of encouragement to be the best you can be as you begin your fabulous journey into jewelry creation.
