SUMMARY- Ms. Libin's work has a very unique look, and doesn't look like tatting at all because there are so many beads. Her notation is different from standard, but not difficult to pick up.
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 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 probably 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 black-and-white photos of the finished piece.
