    Stunning!
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2012*

After her book 'Crystal Brilliance',  it really didn't surprise me that this book is stunning.  I love the designs.  Almost every design in the book is begging me to get the beads out and start stitching and that's pretty amazing.  The designs are clever, interesting, lovely, and even adorable.  Some are very dainty and pretty and others are more geometric and less 'girly' looking and lots are somewhere in between.The book is divided into sections of projects for Tiles & Tilas, Peanuts & Berries, Daggers & Drops, and Creative Combinations.  Anna's designs show the shaped beads being used in novel ways that are very attractive.  As a matter of fact she has created the first designs I have ever seen featuring Tila beads that I would actually want to make.  Projects in the book include bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, beaded beads, a bangle, a pendant, and components that can be used to create a variety of projects.One thing I really appreciate about this book is that the introduction section introduces you to the types of beads featured in the designs, the focus of the book: tiles and tilas, peanuts and berries (I'd never heard of berry beads before), and daggers and drops.  She skips the pages and pages of info on all kinds of thread, needles, beads and tools that you usually see at the front of most beading books - and usually don't need or read. (Thank-you!!)  A brief "Basics Review" section is included in four pages at the back of the book - just the right amount of such information.  If you need more than that it's time to break out your beading basics books.The directions for each project feature a clear supply list, including brands and color identification in case you want to make an exact duplicate; a little chart showing how each bead type will be shown in the diagrams, step by step text instructions, and clear thread path diagrams.  And oh yes, very important: lovely clear photos of the project, often in more than one colorway.I also like the Design Options sections at the end of the instructions for each design.  Here Anna shows you how to make a variation of the project or how to make a coordinating item such as earrings or a ring or a bracelet to go with a necklace or a bracelet or a pendant.I highly, highly recommend this book to any beader past the beginning beginner stage.  I'd say these designs are most suited to intermediate to advanced beaders and ambitious beginners.

    Disappointed
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2012*

I really only like a few of the designs in this book. I made the St. Pete's Meets Tila and tried to make the necklace option. I started out with about 8 1/2" of beading and about 14" of chain to make a longer necklace. When I tried it on, the beading would not hold it's shape and twisted. I kept cutting off chain and never had good success with any length. I could never get it to lay flat and not twist. I wasted a lot of chain because I cut an inch off each time. Also, the Fireline stretched and left spaces between the Tilas that were not there when I made it. Then I tried the Zigzag Trellis and the single row is underwhelming, to say the least. Guess, I'll try the double row, but not sure I will like that either.  My final attempt will be the Tulip Lace bracelet. Hope that one turns out to my satisfaction.  Maybe, part of my displeasure is due to the Tilas being so small and the resulting piece is too diminutive. I'd probably like 10-14mm Tilas so the resulting jewelry is more substantial and in line with the chunkier jewelry trend.
