 I put off buying this book for a while because of the price and because I was terrified of doing projects in Peyote Stitch, but the Projects are truly gorgeous, specially the Victorian Rose Set. Below you can see clearer images than the ones at amazon.com. I think they are worth showing, so you can truly appreciate the value of the book.
Mrs. Moring gives you the patterns with the delicas bead colors plus at the end of the book there is a short section on how to do odd peyote and how to increase and decrease in peyote stitch. Also, for the blooming pin you use an internal increase and decrease, which I had never seen (I am a beginner though). I started out with the Celtic pattern for the earrings because they seemed easy. The pair took me about an hour and a half to make. I loved the result. Click here for more information at Amazon.com.

  After I bought all the books I could find by Varvara Konstantinov, I decided to start with this one because the netting stitch seemed easier than peyote stitch or the coraling technique also by Mrs. Konstantinov.
The result have been about 4 bracelets (I could never do the long necklaces, so I made short versions of them) that have turned out beautifully.
