Twenty-five beautiful, sleek, and sophisticated, yet still simple and wearable, project designs are included, from Lily-a pair of earrings inspired by the shape of a lily flower-to Night Dew, a reversible bracelet featuring shimmering bicones. Praise for Japanese Beadwork with Sonoko Nozue "I was one of the fortunate workshop participants who studied with Sonoko, the preeminent Japanese master instructor, at her 2005 Bead&Button debut. Her teaching style is beautifully presented with clear and concise illustrations in this comprehensive book. Sonoko's brilliantly designed and refined work reflects the Japanese aesthetic beautifully. This is a must-have book for any beader from beginner to advanced." - Nancy Cain "Sonoko is a national asset for Japan and a treasure for the beading field. Her expertise and master- ful skill in seed beadweaving is extraordinary, and these projects beautifully showcase her remarkable talent. The distinctive blend of classic design incorporated into contemporary style makes this book highly relevant to all readers. The unique techniques, as well as the inspirational gallery of work by this gracious artist, will stimulate my own creative endeavors." - Melanie Potter "Many will recognize Sonoko from Bead&Button shows as the elegant lady in a lavish Japanese kimono. Now you can enjoy all she has offered in her classes through the pages of this book. Each project takes a fresh approach to a familiar technique, resulting in classic wearable adornments that will stand the test of time and can even become family heirlooms." - Diane Fitzgerald "Sonoko Nozue is a master of graceful design. Her projects tantalize with lush texture, fine details, and layers of interest. Her elegant color palettes evoke a classical and timeless age. She manages to take the simplest stitch and elevate it to a new level by making a seemingly minor change, creating a whole new world to explore. Each time I pick up this book, I find more to absorb and delight in." - Jill Wiseman Sonoko Nozue, Japan's leading beader, began teaching at Bead&Button in 2005. Three years later, she was the first international instructor invited to teach a Master Class at that event. SABINE LIPPERT'S BEADED FANTASIES Leading European beader and teacher Sabine Lippert makes your beaded jewelry fantasies come true! This special book in the Beadweaving Master Class series includes Sabine's most dazzling and romantic designs, from a sparkling pendant of golden rivolis and large deep-green pearls to a necklace featuring a netting of silver seed beads that enfolds pale violet pearls and eggplant-colored beads. Her beautiful, inventive projects evoke the Gilded Age-but with contemporary, wearable designs for today's beaders. All of the pieces are made using the most popular stitches in beadwork: peyote and right angle weave. Sabine completes her Master Class by describing her approach to design and presenting gallery images of her own work, as well as jewelry from some of the artists she most admires, encouraging you to branch out in your own beadwork! Praise for Sabine Lippert's Beaded Fantasies "Sabine Lippert's use of pearls, crystals, and seed beads, with innovative thread paths, results in beautifully encrusted jewels that are infinitely wearable. The way she shares her design approach of evolving pieces of beadwork into a variety of designs encourages readers to take their own design journeys. We can be thankful that Sabine's long craft history led her to beads." Marcia DeCoster - "Every so often a beader comes along who just stands out from the crowd. When I first saw Sabine's work, I knew it was very special. She's the kind of artist who brings a mastery to her work and raises the bar for all beaders. Unique, amazing, gorgeous, stunning, glamorous, elegant-all of these words describe Sabine's book. Every piece is exquisite and beautifully made and will have beaders wanting to make every one. The problem will be in deciding which to make first!" - Suzanne Golden "Sabine Lippert is one of the most innovative bead artists. She was truly inspired with this amaz- ing book! The projects are fabulous and the how-to illustrations are perfection. I believe people will want to create these projects over and over again, playing with various colorways. This book is destined to be in every bead artist's library and referred to repeatedly." -- Sherry Serafini "From my first glance at Sabine's beadwork in 2009, I became a fan. These pages reveal a passion for beadweaving to be reckoned with and a desire to share knowledge with others. Although the projects appear intricate and complex, the simple language and illustrations make for a successful, pleasant experience while beading them. Take it from one who finds following directions challenging-these are indeed easier than they look!" - Rachel Nelson-Smith Sabine Lippert started her career as a physician. Since discovering high- quality beads, she beads before work and continues after returning home, fascinated by the colors, the sparkle, the shapes, and the endless possibilities. This is her second book. Sabine lives in Bonn, Germany.
