Diane Fitzgerald is the world's biggest and best-loved name in beading - and now she's back with a new book that will "shape" your jewellery-making for years to come! Focusing on geometric figures formed into three-dimensional beaded pieces, this gorgeous follow-up to her bestselling Diane Fitzgerald's Shaped Beadwork builds on Diane's earlier ideas with 40 stunning projects.

Reviews

"Diane Fitzgerald's "Shaped Beadwork & Beyond" far exceeded my expectations. It's a comprehensive guide to creating designs with triangles, teardrops, beaded beads, bezels, and pointed ovals with a strong emphasis on peyote stitch using Japanese cylinder beads. Nearly fifty different designs are presented with clear, start-to-finish instructions and diagrams...The challenge will be deciding which one will be first." --Leslie Frazier, "Beadwork" magazine 2012 Designer of the Year
