SUMMARY- Ms. Libin has a very unique style of tatting that incorporates so many beads you can no longer tell it is tatting. You can make some pretty jaw-dropping bling using patterns from her “Lace of Beads” series. If you’ve never seen her work and enjoy working with beads, I highly recommend picking up at least a couple of issues. Her notation is different from standard, but not difficult to pick up. There are seven(7) necklace patterns and one pair of earrings in this issue – all gorgeous.
One of my guild members who is a great fan of Ms. Libin's work and has worked up many of her patterns warned me that there are often mistakes in the written instructions, so before using a pattern, compare the instructions carefully to the sample before starting. I do not know if the reprinted booklets have the mistakes corrected or not. These booklets are not good for beginners, but easily something to aspire to if you love the look of beaded lace.
There are diagrams along with very well broken down written instructions, and a mix of color and black-and-white photos of the finished pieces.
