Back Cover Information

Dazzle Friends and Family with Glimmering Beaded Presents

Gifts that are made by hand are cherished as heirloom pieces that will never be seen anywhere else! Using an assortment of colorful, sparkling beads as decorative embellishments, you can make necklaces, earrings, napkins rings, lampshades, hat bands and more for everyone you care about. Each project is a special way of reminding someone of how special you think they are.

Author Linda GettingsAbout the Author

Linda has always loved beads and jewelry in general. It began when she was approximately eight years old. Her mother gave her her first set of pop beads and she spend hours rearranging all the colors.

However, she had to put her pop beads aside, go to school, and grow up. She married and had three children while working in magazine publishing on such titles, as Prevention, Organic Gardening and Men's Health magazines. In her spare time, she kept her creative juices flowing by renovating two old home, painting, doing stained-glass work, cross-stitching, embroidery, flower arranging and even a tiny try at quilting before returning to her real love: beading.

Linda left magazine publishing after 20 years, jumped head first into beading and has never looked back! She will continue to share her love of beads and her newest designs with everyone and anyone who comes along with that same bead-sparkle in their eyes. "I will continue to bead as long as my eyes can see the beads and my fingers can thread a needle!" she says.

Linda teaches classes at My Father's Beads in Cooperburg, and at the Berks Bead Bazaar and the Lapidary Journal's Beadfest in Ft. Washington, PA.
