The Art of French Beaded Flowers

My introduction to this art, and provides all the information and instructions I needed. I would recommend this book to anyone and have begun by making a poppy as suggested in the book, just in time for Remembrance Day. My only problem is lack of time to make as much as I would like!!

great book

VERY GOOD AND NOT EXPERIENCE

Lovely book

As the first french-beaded flower book I bought, I found this book easy to follow. It has a wide range of patterns, from those taking very little time (relatively) to ones that scare the life out of me (the wisteria, oh my god!).Carol covers all of the techniques, both main ones (eg basic frame) and variations of the themes (eg split basic and reverse basic). Each pattern lists what materials are needed and what techniques are used.The one downside of this book for some readers/crafters is that it is descriptive rather than pictorial, so there aren't many technique diagrams/pictures. However as I prefer this method of learning and happened to buy another book on French Beaded Flowers that was pictorial at the same time (I much preferred Carol's book to this one), I found "The Art of French Beaded Flowers" easy to use and has lead me down the path of a new obsession!All in all a cracking book and a great hobby...
