Synopsis

Give every embroidery project a little more “pop” with the amazing dimensional impact of beads. The 14 projects featured here are suitable for all skill levels and show just what can be accomplished with brightly colored beads and a little imagination. Projects include a dazzling evening bag, a cozy bed throw, an old-fashioned Christmas ornament, and a wondrous assortment of leaves, vines, and flowers suitable for adorning clothing and linens, among other creative ideas. Some 100 color photographs bring the beading techniques to vivid life, and there’s also a stitch index, complete materials lists, and other useful resources.

Review:

Feb/Mar 08 If you like ornate, beautiful, thread heavy and bead-encrusted work then buy this book! With 14 projects, all of which are highly decorative and detailed, this book is perfect for someone more advanced, or simply very adventurous. With intensive, detailed instructions we thought this book may be off-putting for a complete beginner, but just what many others are looking for. * Bead *
