Reviews
"Combines the joy for and the appreciation of the spirit as a life force in beading.... Will serve the reader as more than a primer, it's a roadmap for the curious and a balm for the initiate." -Joyce J. Scott, visual/performance artist and author, Fearless Beadwork "A remarkably insightful and personal account of the intimate relationship between spirituality and creativity. Whether you do beading, pursue other artistic activities, or are interested in devotional practices, you will find this a powerful and engaging work." -Robert Wuthnow, author, Creative Spirituality: The Way of the Artist "A spirit trek with beads.... This is no coffee-table book or straight-out instruction manual [but] a great read I'd recommend to anyone-especially beaders-who is hungry for a connection with the Divine." -Jean Campbell, beadwork artist and author, The Art of Beaded Beads "A significant work that puts into words the spiritual awareness that comes from the art of beading. It is a guide to understanding where creativity comes from and how to get there." -Carol Wilcox Wells, artist and author, Creative Bead Weaving "Includes fascinating information about the use of beads and sacred symbols in both ancient and modern religious belief systems. I highly recommend [it] to anyone who wants to develop an awareness and a deeper understanding of the spiritual/creative connection." -Nancy Eha, beading instructor and author, Off the Beadin' Path "Exquisite-in its message and in the projects chosen. Artists in every medium can benefit from Beading-The Creative Spirit." -Loretta Radeschi, basketmaker and author, The Business Guide Series for Artists and Craftspeople
