Synopsis: Get your bead groove on with The Impatient Beader and you'll be a beading goddess in no time!

Do you get antsy waiting for water to boil? Do you feel like it takes ages for fingernail polish to dry? If you're a creative individual who wants to make snazzy jewelry in less time than it takes to clean the kitchen and with the amount of focus required for a movie marathon, you have come to the right place. Greetings and welcome to the wonderful world of beading for the patience impaired. The Impatient Beader gives you over 40 projects plus variations that you can whip up to wear, gift or display in only an hour or two - how's that for almost instant gratification?

Grab some beads, and The Impatient Beader will supply the know-how you need to make saucy necklaces, bracelets and earrings that make you stand out in a crowd.

Inside you'll find:

   • An extensive step-by-step techniques guide that shows you everything you'll need to know to create all of the projects in the book
   • A huge selection of gorgeous, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces from sassy - like the Victorian Temptress Choker - to sweet - like the Sea Dreamer Wrap Necklace
   • An easy-to-follow skill level guide that tells you whether a project calls for the skills of a "Beading Virgin," a "Beading Vixen," or a "Beading Goddess"
   • Patience Booster tips and Designer Tips to help make your beading go smoothly and to encourage you to experiment with making your own designs


The Impatient Beader gives you everything you need to start making stylish beaded jewelry pieces right now! What are you waiting for? Go, Bead Queen, go!
