Invites readers on a spiritual pilgrimage into the kaleidoscope

world of glass and color. Believing that beading is a form of

meditation through which we can access the Creative Spirit that

is always present in us, Ellsworth offers multiple ways to explore

beading as a spiritual journey of self-discovery. Each of the seven chapters is rich with personal stories, exercises, and beading projects, and each project has a meditative experience to encourage a contemplative spirit and creative play. The project results are beautiful and meaningful, designed by a master bead artist for both novice and experienced beaders alike.
