Variations on a Theme

About the book:

"A new bead pattern is like undiscovered treasure to me.  I look at a necklace or an ornament and think of fifty ways to change the color, change the pattern, change the type of bead, change the look... you get the idea.  What is surprising..... at least to me.... is that so many people can only see one way to make things.  The instructions say this, so this  is the way it has to be done.  Not in my world!  In my  beading world, patterns are the suggestion, not the rule.

Celestial Series was created to show just a few of the ways a single idea can be changed.  Take a basic ornament and play with color, the dangles, the crystals or the beads and the next thing you know, you have an all new... unique unto you... ornament.

This is the starting point... your results should be as varied as the stars!"
