| I've gotten quite a few "how'd you do that?" emails. This is the page for all those beaders and metalworkers and anyone else out there who wants to learn a little more. Everything on this page is something that's helped me or inspired me or I would like for a Christmas gift (HINT, HINT)! |

| The Beader's Companion by Judith Durant, Jean Campbell |
An excellent beginner's book, this is a must have book for anyone. I'm still learning new tips and tricks from it! The amazon review is very accurate. |
| The Best Little Beading Book by Wendy S. Conner |
I don't have this one but I've heard great things about it. It's another basic to intermediate book. |
| Zulu Beaded Chain Techniques by Diane Fitzgerald |
These are really cool chains and another book I want to add to my library |
| Beads : An Exploration of Bead Traditions Around the World by Janet Coles, Robert Budwig (Contributor), Jonathan Lovekin (Photographer) |

Another must have! Covers all ranges of skill with gorgeous pics and projects. Find this in your local bookstore and use the card in the magazine to sign up...It often has special gifts that the website doesn't offer. 6 issues/ year. |
| Lapidary Journal |
Wonderful for more advanced wire work and soldering. Few bead projects but tons of info and awesome pictures. Definitely inspired several of my pieces. |
| Wired |
Primarily wire-wrapping...Great projects |
| Jewelry Crafts |
Very diverse projects...from beading to polymer clay to metal work |
