Busy and Lazy . . . can they co-exist?

Well, I have been beading, but I've also bought some new books that I've been very lax about sharing.

The first is a Paolo Bottoni (ISBN4-07-239847-0) book that *speaks very softly* is a bit of a disappointment. *ducks* I don't regret having it, natch, but there's something too bright about it, too . . . I can't quite place my finger on it.












This next is part of the Beads Works series.(ISBN4-408-62498-5) I got it at a great price from a seller on Etsy. It's a good basic book and shows me what the Beads Works series is like.











Last is a new My Beads Style 11 (ISBN978-4-537-12121-6). Since Beads Book appears to have stopped, I favor this series. Lots of patterns, and Shizuya has an association with them since he has many patterns in this series. There's a pretty funny article with him showing a sumo how to bead. I guess they thought "big guy+small beads=big laughs." It's got a nice wire section as well.


I have new works to post as well, and a review of Toho tegusu that FusionBeads is carrying, but I will save those for another day.
