Bead & Button Magazine, published by Kalmbach USA, price 5.95 US dollars from www.BeadAndCraftBooks.com
Bead and Button Magazine features expert advice, tips and techniques in every issue. Their is a gallery of readers’ work and a stitch workshop too. In each issue, there is a treasury of bead ideas from jewellery to other ways of using beads for pictures and so on. In the issue I reviewed (Feb 2009, not the one shown in the picture), I was overwhelmed by Naomi Sakuma’s wonderful beaded handbag inspired by tapestry. Each project has step-by-step instructions and is accompanied by colour photographs. There are also plenty of ideas for beginners.
