The first ever beading book I held in my hands was written in Japanese so I don't really know its name. Then came the first beading magazine Beads and Buttons. Till today its one of my favorite beading magazines.
In saying so some how I still love Japanese magazines and my favorite is Beads Friend and today I received issue 33. I am addicted to it as its full with info and guess what it's so clear it doesn't matter I don't understand Japanese.

I recently read an interesting book for Sherry Serafini called Sensational Bead Embroidery. And indeed its sensational just Sherri her self whom is one of my favorite artists as well. The book is a great value for beginner to advance readers.
Here is her wining piece in the Beads and Buttons Bead Dreams Compition. I have also added a link to her site to see more works. Enjoy :)
