Traveling widely to teach, lecture and research beadwork for nearly 20 years, Robin Atkins is a nationally known bead artist. She has authored several beading books as well as numerous magazine articles. Robin enjoys all types of beading. However, she especially loves to sew beads on cloth. Currently her two passions are fabricating sculptural pieces and combining bead embroidery with bookmaking to create bead-embellished journals. She is excited to see the development of beadwork in the past two decades, as it has shifted from the world of craft toward the world of art. She resides in Friday Harbor, WA.

"This book had me when I looked at its beautiful cover. It boasts more than 650 photographs and it delivers. However, it delivers far more than that. It is a wonderful resource guide for the novice, as well as the expert crafter....The Complete Photo Guide to Beading by Robin Atkins would be a wonderful Christmas gift for yourself or your favorite crafter. It is one book that they will use and keep in their craft library for years to come." - Carol Heppner
