Product Description

Capture the colors of the world with 220 distinctive palettes







* Priceless source of color inspiration



* Create 20 step-by-step projects



* Gallery of finished jewelry by the author and other artists







Confused by color? Don’t be. Get The Beader’s Color Palette, a priceless resource for beaders seeking inspiration for their jewelry designs. Author Margie Deeb presents 220 palettes inspired by five diverse themes, along with examples of finished jewelry and 20 step-by-step projects that interpret those themes. From the four elements (air, fire, water, and earth), to artists’ palettes (from ancient Egyptian through modern art), from world cultures (including Latin America, India and Tibet, Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East) to environments (rainforests, the Southwest, the Mediterranean), to the natural world (marine life, birds, insects)--these palettes capture the essence of countless human experiences and dreams. Beginners will love the basics section on off-loom stitches, loom weaving, and stringing; more advanced beaders will be inspired to take on the wide world of beautiful color.

Rating: - Wonderful use of history, culture, fantasy in regards to making the perfect colored piece of jewelry!
For those of you that are hesitant about this book, please review the "Search Inside this Book" link underneath the book cover image again. As you can see from the table of contents, the glory of this book IMHO comes from Deeb's use of historical color combinations and designs, to cultural variations, and fantasy. Included are natural stones from the earth and representing the elements (earth, water, air, fire) - not just Delicas as Deeb is so fond of using (with the appropriate color numbers listed ...

Rating: - Brilliant for Beaders
The Beader's Color Palette by Margie Deeb (Watson-Guptill US $24.95; $27.59 CAN) mixes beads, brains, and brilliance. Beads, of course, refers the the fact that this is a book for beaders. Brains relates to the fact that you will need to use your brain - in a good way - to get the full use of this text. Brilliance refers to the amazing (in many cases jaw-dropping) jewelry designs packed between almost 200 pages that make up the book.

Rating: - Great book!!
This is an excellent, high quality book! I'm thrilled at the color palettes and the BIG photos!

My only criticism is that the type size, especially for the project materials, is microscopic. And in some places, the type is even a very light color, making it even more difficult to read. As a graphic designer myself, I'm not sure of the reasoning for this.

At any rate, I guess I'll get some new glasses 'cause I know I'll have this book around for years!

Rating: - Inspirational Photos
I don't find the color palettes very helpful, but the photos of the jewelry are excellent for ideas for my own beadwork.

Rating: - WOW!
I LOVE this book! It inspires me on so many levels. The work that Margie created and those created by chosen artists to represent the different color palettes is incredible! My favorite artists were Jamie Cloud Eakin and Joan Babcock: Breath taking interprations! Such a great concept. I will dog ear this book through my years of creatively expressing myself. It feeds my soul.
