Recensione:

"These exquisitely beautiful jewelry designs capture the delicacy and grace of the Japanese aesthetic for both novice and experiencd beaders to enjoy. Many will recognize Sonoko from Bead&Button shows as the elegant lady in a lavish Japanese kimono. Now you can enjoy all she has offered in her classes through the pages of this book. Each project takes a fresh approach to a familiar technique, resulting in classic wearable adornments that will stand the test of time and can even become family heirlooms." -- Diane Fitzgerald "I was one of the fortunate workshop participants who studied with Sonoko, the preeminent Japanese master instructor, at her 2005 Bead&Button debut. Her teaching style is beautifully presented with clear and concise illustrations in this comprehensive book. Sonoko's brilliantly designed and refined work reflects the Japanese aesthetic beautifully. This is a must-have book for any beader from beginner to advanced." -- Nancy Cain "Sonoko Nozue is a master of graceful design. Her projects tantalize with lush texture, fine details, and layers of interest. Her elegant color palettes evoke a classical and timeless age. She manages to take the simplest stitch and elevate it to a new level by making a seemingly minor change, creating a whole new world to explore. Each time I pick up this book, I find more to absorb and delight in." -- Jill Wiseman "Sonoko is a national asset for Japan and a treasure for the beading field. Her expertise and masterful skill in seed beadweaving is extraordinary, and these projects beautifully showcase her remarkable talent. The distinctive blend of classic design incorporated into contemporary style makes this book highly relevant to all readers. The unique techniques, as well as the inspirational gallery of work by this gracious artist, will stimulate my own creative endeavors." --Melanie Potter
