Take a master class with Japan's first lady of beadwork--Sonoko Nozue! This unique entry in the best-selling `Beadweaving Master Class` series--and Nozue's first book in English--offers 25 projects showcasing the artist's signature melding of traditional Japanese style with modern dramatic flair. Overflowing with crystals and pearls, these pieces are lush, romantic, and one-of-a-kind. A gallery of additional works from Nozue will inspire advanced jewelers in their creative exploration, and the images and design throughout beautifully capture an appealing Japanese aesthetic.
