Melissa ShippeeBeautiful Beadwork from Nature: 16 Stunning Jewelry Projects Inspired by the Natural World

Great picture and easy to follow instructions.I havenot made the shell necklace but waitign for my beads to arrivev so I can.

Have worked Melissa Shippee's patterns before and never found any problems. Am rather taken aback by Kate the Great's review. Hope she will reach out to the author to identify every one of the numerous problems she saw. Am sure the author and editors would appreciate it.Since I am still waiting impatiently for Amazon to deliver my book (ordered in Nov-2018 for a May 1 publishing date). So, I went to B&N (not a Kindle kid) and purchased the digital version so I could get started.I did see one pattern where a materials list had about 3 quantity errors but that was all. Not sure where all the errors an earlier reviewer claimed can be. I can't find them and I looked.Have already made 2 earring patterns. Instructions were clear, detailed, and thoughtfully illustrated - S.O.P. for this designer. Have also reviewed and pulled supplies for 3 other projects in the book. Everything is logical and materials lists make sense.Looking forward to exploring more of these designs - trouble is that I can't decide which one to do first.Buy This Book!!! You won't regret it.

Love this designer. Lots of fun designs. Great instructions. Earrings, bracelets, pendants and necklaces. My favorite is the Shell Necklace on the cover.

Beautiful book. My favorite design is the one on the cover. Projects are for intermediate to advanced bead artists.

I have my copy. It’s just absolutely gorgeous. The cover is excellent. But! Just wait till you open the book. Wow, the text and illustrations and placement are the ABSOLUTE BEST I’VE EVER SEEN IN A BEADING BOOK! I felt like I was entering a wonderful fairyland full of love and caring and wonderful surprises. I can’t wait to try one of these luscious patterns. I’ve placed my order to do the lariat. This book is the top of my list for its looks and content. Thank you so much for writing/illustrating/creating this treasure.

I saw this book in a craft store and got to the cash register only to find out that the blow out, store wide sale did NOT include craft books! Rather on the expensive side, and really annoyed that it was not included in the sale, I purchased the Kindle edition of the book and had it even before my car left the store parking lot and at a fraction of the physical book price. Every project is beautiful and truly worth you time and effort. I highly recommend this book....

Great book with lots of creative projects for beaders of all skill levels. Also includes valuable education background and information.

No problems with delivery, everything was okay.Thank you .Maria Umann
