Can’t seem to find the time to bead? Jane Danley Cruz’s new book, Ready, Set, Bead, has that covered. We’ve all had our share of unfinished projects, and being a beader for more than 25 years, Jane understands the difficulties of trying to finish a project in an evening or a weekend. Her new book helps you organize your time so that you can create beautiful projects in the time you have available.
Jane’s book is arranged in chapters by the amount of time it takes to complete the project. They range from 1–4 hours, and have 6–7 projects in each chapter. The amount of time they take you may vary depending on your skill level and how fast you can stitch, but it gives you a good baseline from which to work. She also has a basics section that has information about beads, tools, findings, and basic beading techniques.
