Invited to contribute a chapter to the Lark Books publication Making Beautiful Beads, Jorie writes in her introduction, “Remember those annoying little wool balls you find clinging to your winter sweaters by the end of the season? Well, it may sound funny, but with a little more of the same material -and a great deal more strategy- you can create a series of stunning beads for stringing, buttons, and more!…” See pp. 7-27

“Five bead artists have collaborated on this guide to making contemporary-style beads. The most unusual are the rolled and shaped felt beads made from merino wool by Jorie Johnson…” ーLibrary Journal
