Editorial Reviews
Review
“What I love most in Jill Wiseman's work is the plain
elegance of her jewelry-clear structures and a passion for the little
details that make a piece so special and timeless. This book shows a
multitude of techniques to create the classiest ropes, embellish them,
and transform them into dimensional pieces. This is not only a
collection of beautiful jewelry but also a brilliant overview of all the
techniques. This book should definitely be on every beader’s
bookshelf.” - Sabine Lippert
“Finally! A
beadwork book that shows beaders how to stitch gorgeous ropes, strands,
and bands! Jill's stellar stitching instructions and covetous color
combinations will have every beader that reads this book feeling like
they have just enjoyed a full-on class with Jill. Her book gives beaders
excellent advice and includes a gallery section that will have you
inspired and scrambling for the beading tray.” - Maggie Roschyk
“Jill's
new book is a unique study in the infinite possibilities, variations,
and applications of beaded ropes. Beautifully illustrated and clearly
narrated step-by-step instructions guide the reader through the 24
projects. Topped off with an inspiring gallery of rope-based jewelry,
this book is a must-have for every beader.” - Laura McCabe
"In Jill Wiseman’s Beautiful Beaded Ropes,
we are treated to a wide variety of stitches resulting in a selection
of ropes, many of which stand alone and others which provide the perfect
complement to our own choice of beads. Jill shows us how to use the
rope stitches in unexpected ways, making traditional ropes but also
using them in earrings, rings, and focal pendants." - Marcia DeCoster
“If
you tend to think of ropes as items that go around your neck and,
perhaps, your wrist, Jill will surprise you. After seeing the enchanting
Bohemian Earrings and the mesmerizing Ziggurat Ring -- which has found
its way to the top of my absolutely-must-bead bucket list -- you will
open to new and exciting possibilities in your own beadwork. What I may
love most about this book is it has jewelry for real women, not for
runway models or high society gals. You don't need to find an excuse to
wear these pieces; they will not languish in your jewelry box after
you've had the fun of beading them. Promise!” - Carol Dean Sharpe
