SUMMARY- Ms. Libin's work has a very unique look, and doesn't look like tatting because there are so many beads. Her work is beautiful and inspires lust to own a piece in everyone fortunate enough to examine it in person. Her notation is different from standard, but not difficult to pick up. All of these patterns were test tatted by Stephanie Wilson.
One of my guild members who is a great fan of Ms. Libin's work and has tatted 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 probably not good for beginners, but easily something to aspire to if you love the look of beaded lace. Ms. Libin may have fixed this problem with the aid of Stephanie Wilson, but I do not have any current information on this.
There are diagrams along with very well broken down written instructions, and color photos of the finished pieces.
