The Complete Photo Guide to Beading Giveaway

This week's giveaway is the new book from Robin Atkins "The Complete Photo Guide to Beading".  You can check out Robin's blog here.

It showcases 28 projects as well as tips on choosing the best tools and materials for your future bead projects.


















I particularly like the embroidery ideas.  I would love to add beading to a painted canvas.
