"Disappointed and in the Minority" according to K. Varraso. I was really looking forward to "Creating Crystal Jewelry" as I greatly admire and respect Laura McCabe, I believe that this was her first book release, which made it all the more tantalizing to wait for the insight and projects that have made her (as another reviewer said) one of today's beading greats.Sadly, the book is a disappointment.

Beautiful photographs of the projects, and variations of them, depicted in countless inspiring color combinations.

Laura's material list are specific and her step by step directions for making the projects are excellant. She even estimates the beading time for the reader.
