Through her expertise and her clear, illustrated instructions to beginners, the book also aim to underline the ways in which beadwork is still relevant in our contemporary society. The result is a much-needed breath of fresh air injected into a dying form of art, and any lover of Peranakan culture will find this tome a comprehensive and insightful overview of the history, aesthetics and methods of beadwork, much of which has remained until now in the realm of amateurs and connoisseurs of the craft.
