Zoe L. Schneider - French Beaded Flowers - The Complete Guide

Writing this book was a tremendous undertaking, which would not have been possible without the assistance of so many talented people. I am in awe at the expertise and creativity that was exhibited to bring this work to fruition. To each and every person that assisted with this work, thank you and God bless you. A special thanks to Candy Wiza of F+W Media, Inc. for opening a door of opportunity when I came knocking with my book proposal. If not for you, I might still be seeking a window. To the F+W Media, Inc. staff book designers, photographers and illustrators who contributed to the work, thank you for your patience in working via distance with a novice and for your understanding and care of the beaded projects. To my editor, Ms. Jennifer Claydon, in many ways you amaze me. You are a highly talented individual and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with you. As you know, I had a large learning curve about the publishing process, but your professionalism and guidance assisted me through all of the phases successfully. Thank you.

While researching materials, I encountered many talented authors, who were gracious and granted permission for use of their work to make this a comprehensive guide to French beading. I am appreciative of your talent, the words of encouragement and the support that I received from you.

While working at home, my family was consistently supportive of my goal. There is absolutely no way that I could have completed this project without their support and encouragement. On days when the work was overwhelming, their words lifted my spirit back up and helped me continue to completion. Thank you and I love you all very much.

To my Grandma you blessed me throughout my life by sharing your own talents to cultivate mine a selfless act to give and build another's life and pursuits. Each day your presence enriched my life. This project is my means of sharing with others what you generously gave to me.
