Delica Beaded Jewelry
by Alice Korach

Publisher Design Originals
Edition Paperback

This book was written when Miyuki asked for a book of projects to introduce their new size 10/0 Delica beads. Alice Korach wondered why there was a need for an in-between size of Delica beads. It’s a bit large if you want to weave a detailed pictorial tapestry, but it’s a wonderful size for jewelry projects with more abstract designs. It wasn’t until Alice actually began working on her designs, however, that she discovered how much she loves this new size bead; both small enough to pick out detail and large enough to work quickly. The book contains easy step by step instructions for seven beautiful and innovative projects.
