Beyond the Bead
By Margot Potter, Katie Hacker and Fernando Dasilva for North Light Books

Three popular jewelry designers use Beadalon and Swarovski materials to create uniquely beautiful but easy to recreate designs that expose the materials that usually remain hidden. The techniques explored in the book are fresh and exciting and the designs are upscale and modern. Each design is a springboard for your own ideas and the designers also expose the process they used to create the technique.
