A Good Book Year for Seed Beaders

Every so often I like to do a search of chapters.ca and amazon.ca to what beading books are coming out in the months ahead.  Looks like this year is going to be an expensive one as far a books are concerned.  Here's a few that caught my attention:

• Kumihimo Wire Jewelry by Giovanna Imperia (release date:  March 15, 2011)
• Beading Across America by Sherry Serafini, et al (release date: April 1, 2011)
• Sensation Bead Embroidery by Sherry Serafini (release date: April 1, 2011
• Classical Elegance: 20 Beaded Jewelry Designs by Maggie Meister (release date: August 2, 2011)
• How to Crochet Bead Tube Jewellery by Melinda Wigington (release date: September 1, 2011)
• Bead Riffs by Rachel Nelson-Smith (release date: September 6, 2011)
• Dimensional Bead Embroidery by Jamie Cloud Eakin (release date: October 4, 2011)

Julia Pretl, whom you may know from her Little Bead Boxes books and patterns is working on a new book of her vessels.  They look pretty cool.  No release date yet; all her website says is "Year:  Soon!".

"Beading Across America" is currently available at some bead stores so it may come out early to the larger book stores. 

There are of course dozens of other new books coming out on beading, bead stringing, wirework, etc but I'm a sead beader so they are not on my wish list. 

Happy beading!
