Rich on history and technique, this
definitive work by two leading beadworkers offers the first comprehensive
look at the vast opportunities for self-expression with beads on
cloth. Fabrics of all kinds—woven, non-woven, patterned, and
plain, come together with beads of all kinds—seed, bugle,
art, and novelty. The result is 10 stunning projects that both instruct
and inspire. Four basic foundation stitches and their variations
are illustrated in careful detail, and useful tricks of the trade
abound for developing pattern and image. A colorful gallery of work
by contemporary bead artists offers numerous ideas to inspire your
own creations.
