As usual Suzanne has provided a minimum of words for direction, but the directions are packed full of good sized and easy to read and understand instruction. You need to know peyote stitch or brick stitch, but if you are brave you could learn with one of the flat peyote bracelets. That way you would have a wonderful sample to learn from and as an end product. Suzanne is very clear on her title page about the purchaser of the book being able to use the designs for personal use and selling at arts and crafts show, but not to use these designs for mass production without written permission from the author. This is something we all need to keep in mind, whenever we sell the work designed by someone else.
Charts are also full color.
The people who beaded each design have a little paragraph about that if they wished, and Colorado's own, Betcy Ventrella beaded the eagle on the cover. As bead people we all know that variations in beads and personal technique make accurate measurements impossible. The subject matter covers a wide range of interests. Some of the themes are animals, such as the eagle I'd mentioned, dragons, Madame Pele, Egyptian themes, African themes, Celtic knots, freeform and stylized themes and of course flowers. Each one is unique and wonderful.
