With only glass beads and wire the reader can create spectacular arrangements by stringing and twisting (not weaving). With four basic techniques, any flower can be created. All the basics are covered from tools and supplies to different ways of creating special colour effects. There are full-page and close-up detail colour photos to help create the floral shapes. There is a short history of french beaded flowers with photos of antique items, a classic poppy design to master the basics, and many other floral designs including some fantsasy flowers.
