This is May 2009's massive and beautiful volume culled from BeadStyle magazine -- a compendium (???) (compedium???--somebody help me out here! I hath lost my vocabulary mojo!) of best of the past year's projects from that lovely magazine, or I would hope many of the best. Once again, I am in here. Delighted as always, as these volumes are heavy, great to own, great gifts for starter-outers, and impressively informative. I am always proud to be in them, they are so well thought out and well laid out! Easy Beading volumes rule! This cover is so different from last year's and the year before that. It sort of looks edible! I like it. I can't wait to get it onto my website for comparisons!
