Learn French Beading Series
Beginner Course
The first volume of my Learn French Beading series was published February 2020.
While it is made specifically for beginners who’ve never touched beads or wire, it is also an excellent resource for experienced French Beading artists.
This title is an instruction manual that goes along with my Learn French Beading: Beginner Course video series on my website. Instructions for accessing the course videos are included inside the book. It contains instructions for beginner-level techniques and four practice flower patterns (Lavender, Dame’s Rocket, Wild Clematis, and Black-Eyed Susan).
You can order the paperback or Kindle ebook on Amazon, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.jp, Amazon.it, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.es
It is also available on Book Depository – a book store that ships internationally for free!
I do offer signed copies of the paperback in my shop.
