SUMMARY- Mrs. Libin has a distinctive style all her own. "Beanile Lace" is short for "Beadwork by Nina Libin". This is a collection of all new patterns designed especially for the needle tatter. Nina Libin has devised her own unique notation to take in to account the massive amount of beads she incorporates into her designs. Once you practice it a few times, it becomes clear. She also has diagrams to back up her symbolic notation. I was very happy to add this book to my collection! My only grumble is not discovering I could get a printed version instead of the CD.

Nina Libin also put out a great newsletter: "LACE OF BEADS"

Ms. Libin has a website where you can buy books, supplies and kits: www.beanile.com
