Review #1: Nothing special
2006-09-03 
It looks like a magazine rather than a book. Only few projects are nice but it's not worth it to pay $21 for those projects.
The instructions aren't that clear and neither the graphs, I would not recommend it to anybody since there are much better books out there (e.g. The beaded garden - Diane Fitzgerald).
I have seen many Russian books on beadings and there are much more interesting and worth to be translated.
Review #2: Most Beautiful Beaded Flower Necklaces I've Ever Seen!!!
2005-12-05 
These are some of the most incredibly beautiful flower necklaces that I have ever seen!!! If you are not sure about whether or not to get it, make sure that you click on the second thumbprint showing the back cover with all of the necklaces shown -- absolutely amazing!!! Plus, these flower patterns could easily be used to decorate clothing, purses, or create vases of flowers!!!
Also, as another commenter indicated, if you need additional help, you can simply go to her incredible website, Jewelry by Varvara, and e-mail her.
I'm so glad that I found this book!!!
Many Blessings,
Crystal
Review #3: PLEASE BUY The Beaded Garden : Creating Flowers with Beads and Thread INSTEAD
2005-10-12
You won't be sorry buying this other book instead! It is in full color NOT like this book, 95% in Black in white. The instructions are not that clear for a visual learner like me. The other book: Creating Flowers With Beads and Theads allowed me to pick it up and start beading!
Review #4: Another outstanding book from Varvara!
2003-12-14
More unique and wonderful designs with clear instructions from our favorite Russian beader. Once again the main difficulty is deciding which to make first. Lots of pictures and diagrams so you should have no trouble completing a project. The best thing is if you ever need help with anything, Varvara is just an email away and she is always willing to go the extra mile to insure you have a great beading experience. I am eagerly awaiting any future books from this talented designer.
Review #5: She has done it again!
2003-11-06
If you enjoyed Varvara's first book, this is more than the first, it is very different. Again, she presents the Russian style of beading in an updated manner. The designs are excellent and can be adapted to be more or less than the design shown. The book is detailed, has excellent photos and beading diagrams. She gives you good basic instructions and specific instructions to each project. There are tips throughout the designs to help you construct the piece or modify it as you desire. This book is well worth the price. I can't wait for her next book. |
