Want the RAW truth?
Right-Angle Weave, despite its reputation as a difficult method
of beadwork, is really quite easy once you learn the basics. Whether
you create texture by using wildly different sizes of beads or a
smooth, sleek look with seed beads, right-angle weave is delightfully
supple and versatile beadwork for flat or sculptural projects. In
Beading with Right Angle Weave, author Christine Prussing,
a beadwork designer and teacher, demystifies this stitch by comparing
both the single- and two-needle methods and illustrating how the
needles are manipulated. After mastering the basics, you can create
your own beautiful jewelry with 21 projects that include a trendsetting
Garnet and Carnelian Necklace, a Bead Lace Jabot (a spectacular
piece for a bride), an Italian Coral Necklace and Earrings, and
a Sapphire Crystal Bracelet. All projects include easy-to-follow
instructions and illustrations for both single- and two-needle techniques.
Simple pieces for children or beginning beaders are followed by
more complex projects that advanced beaders should find challenging—unique,
three-dimensional explorations with cubes, frames, tablets, and
boxes. Each project can be modified and personalized in dozens of
ways, and the stunning, full-color gallery of masterful work will
set you on the right path to designing your own inspiring creations.
Christine Prussing is a beadwork
designer and teacher who fell in love with right-angle weave when
she discovered it six years ago. She is a regular contributor to
Beadwork magazine and her designs have appeared in several
books in the Beadwork Creates series, including Necklaces,
Beaded Beads, and Beaded Bags (all Interweave Press).
She owns The Bead Gallery in Juneau, Alaska, where she has lived
for almost thirty years.
