"A surprising number of the projects are appropriate for beginners, and the clear instructions, including diagrams, are helpful. Most of the designs use multiple beadweaving stitches, for which Daniel provides simple guidance. Lacy designs aren't uncommon in beadweaving, but Daniel's approach--which comes from traditional lace--is unique, and her designs are strikingly beautiful." --Library Journal
