Agnes Delage-Calvet loves embroidery, drawing, threads and fabrics, coloured pencils, images of all kinds... she is always working creatively, and never gets bored! Her passions for all things creative have become her work: she has participated in DMC (thread) collaborations, and has appeared on TV shows, in numerous magazines and has been involved in the publication of around thirty books for various publishers. Agnes has created many of the beaded and threaded bracelets that appear in The Bracelet Bible. Agnes lives in Cahors, France. Anne Sohier-Fournel likes to draw and tinker. She loves her painter's palette, her pencils, her scissors, her glue and her toolbox. But above all, she loves threads and beads of all shapes and colours! Anne lives in Tours, France. Francoise Vauzeilles is often found with a ball of wool in one hand, an embroidery needle, a tube of glue and a pair of scissors in the other... and a camera around her neck! Also passionate about DIY and baking, Francoise is a passionate jack-of-all-trades. She has published numerous books on subjects including macrame, crochet and knitting. Francoise lives in Lyon, France. Find her on Instagram: @francoise_vauzeuilles
With over 100 projects and 40 different techniques, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re drawn to colourful Brazilian friendship styles, intricate beadwork, or elegant ribbon-wrapped chains. The visual, step-by-step photography is a huge help, showing each stage clearly so you can follow along without second-guessing. I particularly like how the book encourages experimentation. You can play with colour, texture, and pattern to make each bracelet uniquely your own—or to craft something thoughtful for someone else. Handmade bracelets make the most meaningful gifts, not just because they’re beautiful, but because of the time and love woven into them. * Women Talking *
