japanese bead books

I want to do the 3d beading in the Japanese books,BUT I dont understand the language.
I want to buy a book, is there some way to make sense of it in English?Thought I would ask before I bought it..thanks

I barely understand diagrams so I need to be able to read what they are saying, or does any one know of a 3d animal beading book in English?

Some times when I buy fabric patterns that are in german, I use my phone/ipod touch app that translates as I go. I live in hawaii so those little 3D critters are everywhere! If it helps I'll keep any eye out when I'm shopping for any projects in english!

Yey! Im glad you like it, I am trying to make a few things off there too. But I figured I'd start out small and do some balls before I got into the animals. lol If you make anything cool dont forget to publish it so you can show it off! Happy

:O i have the same problem. i've seen japanese magazines on ebay where you can make beaded cakes or cute animals- but i can't understand it! :'(
have you seen miyuki beading kits? they are similar and only about £5 for a kit? see if you can find them! Happy
