Following the success of her first book Sew It Yourself, DIY Daisy (aka Daisy Braid) invites you to rediscover the simple pleasure of making with your own hands in her new book Bead It Yourself, featuring 30 beading projects to wear and for the home.

The projects are separated into two main parts: ‘Wearable’ and ‘Decorative’. In the ‘Wearable’ part you'll learn how to craft beautiful jewellery and accessories, such as a beaded necklace, a glasses chain and shoe charms. And in the ‘Decorative’ part you'll discover fun home decor projects like beaded bunting, wall hangings and a mobile. Daisy's style embodies sustainable crafting; it’s colourful, quirky, cool-girl chic.

Bead It Yourself captures the magic of sitting around a table, sharing stories and creating something beautiful from upcycled beads and old materials. So call your friends, buy some beads and let the good times begin! Accessible, inspiring and full of heart, Bead It Yourself is a reminder that creativity doesn’t require perfection – just a little play, curiosity and joy.

    When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was "fresh, unpretentious and lean" (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)—critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an...

    'My favourite band. Ever! And certainly the best dressed.' Sam Neill Split Enz were never designed to fit. Emerging from art school mischief in early-1970s New Zealand, they turned pop into surreal theatre: costume, character and melody colliding in a rock band that refused to behave like one. At the centre of that vision was Noel Crombie—percussionist, performer and the...
