I just finished posting all of the initial sample files of Creative Kids Photo Guide to Bead Crafts to my publisher's ftp site, and it feels so good to be making headway. The publisher will now design the book cover and interior based on photos and text that I supplied.
I revised the table of contents for a little better structure, and all projects with have a 3-star system for indicating the level of difficulty. The "All About Beads" chapter is truly unique. Not only does it identify different types of beads but also tells you how to make several different types of beads, charms, and pendants yourself. Handmade is always best, in my opinion.
The book will also have a picture glossary of tools and materials as well as a chapter about beading techniques. These sections are designed to give kids what they need to get started on the 15 different projects that appear in the second half of the book.
In the coming days, I will start to share some great kids' crafts that won't be in the book but that are killer dynamite, so stay tuned.
