Everything is full steam ahead on Geometric Beadwork Volume 2 and I'm getting more excited as each day goes by and I bead new variations and new possibilities and ideas pop into my head and then off my needle.

I'm trying my absolute best to squeeze as much into this book as I can and fingers crossed the number of projects will even exceed the amount that was in Volume 1.

As much as filling it with gallery shots would be nice and easy I can promise it won't be filled with 'here's what someone made from the first book' as that seems ridiculously unfair. If you want to see what people have made from Volume 1 then just check out the Facebook page devoted to it.

Instead this book will be chocked full of new completely stepped out projects and then variation ideas for those of you who want to tread your own path.

I'm keeping the projects under-wraps for now (except for the 5 which are instantly available to anyone who pre-orders the book) but instead am giving you a peek at some of the colours I'm using at the moment.

When the book will be out is still being thrown back and forth as it will depend on my travelling schedule matching up with when the printer can deliver the book and the layout etc be done. Combining different diaries is always stressful! But I can assure you that it will be out and travelling the world by the end of the first half of 2014...and fingers crossed a lot sooner than that!
