SUMMARY- Ms. Zajdel designs tatted jewelry using a lot of beads - Matubo Ginko beads are used in many of the projects with jaw-dropping effect. Her tatting is not quite completely hidden by the beads like Nina Libin's, but it definitely isn't the most prominent visual feature. The beautifully designed beading is the central feature. Each set is named after a woman who made history, with a brief paragraph about the woman. You get instructions in both Polish and English, with diagrams to support instructions and great photos. You will need a fine crochet hook to add the beads. Her notation is nonstandard, so there is a learning curve for reading and understanding her instructions. My final conclusion is that it's worth it! The designs are original and very striking. I really love these designs!
Iwona can be found on both Facebook and Instagram. I was able to order her book directly from her without any problem - she even personally signed it for me! She is the newest of the new wave of Polish designers, and I can't wait to see what she does next!
