Netting Beadwork by Diane Fitzgerald ISBN 1 931499 15 2, Softbound, 122 pages, $21.95US, Interweave Press, 201 East Fourth Street, Loveland, CO, 80537-5655, www.interweave.com, International: 970-613-4658, USA: 800-272-2193 Interweave Press and a very talented artist has teamed up to produce another wonderful book. Diane Fitzgerald has managed to come up with several interesting facts about netting and its history to keep the first part of the book interesting. I’m the kind who usually skips the history stuff and wants to get right to the projects, but this time I found myself reading every printed word! When you get to the projects, you are rewarded with clear, concise text and illustrations as you would expect from this artist. Her easy to follow instructions lead to every project easily being accomplished. The gallery section will inspire you to keep beading and exploring netting techniques. I never knew how creative you could be with age old netting techniques and how diversified they are. Since they work up quickly, I will continue to explore and grow with these netting techniques. Instant gratification is my goal and bead netting allows for endless possibilities. I’m off to net some pom-poms now. Thank you Diane for providing these bead netting techniques for me Review by Teresa Barrett |
