100 Beaded Jewelry Designs
by Stephanie Burnham
More is better in 100 Beaded Jewelry Designs, a stunning new collection of adornments for all occasions by jewelry artist Stephanie Burnham. One hundred projects are organized by season and color for ease of selection, whether it’s the season for a summery Daisy Chain or Petal Rope necklace or the weather for an autumnal Fringed Pendant or Pearl Lozenge necklace. Also included are up-to-the-minute earring designs, sophisticated chokers, and the newest styles in brooches.
Designs draw from a huge variety of materials, from tiny seed beads to stunning focal beads made from stone, shell, or bamboo. Each project is like a recipe, with a shopping list of needed materials and tools, numbered instructions, and the size of the finished piece. The photographs and illustrations are amazing, with more than 250 total to guide readers through every step in the process of creating the projects on their own.
You’d expect a huge variety of techniques with all of these designs, and 100 Beaded Jewelry Designs delivers as the perfect primer for those just starting out and for those with more experience. The technique section covers every method beaders will encounter in the book: threading, knitting, weaving, stitching, knotting, netting, and finishing, along with fun stringing ideas and more. It’s just more, more, more of everything DIY jewelry enthusiasts need to make their own cache of dazzling jewelry!
“Never be afraid to change an element of the design to put your own stamp on your work
