“Once the jewelry box is full to overflowing with items of beaded personal adornment, those obsessed with beads begin looking for things around the house to embellish with beads. Even the most commonplace items, such as the salt shaker or a vinegar bottle, are likely candidates for bead-embellishment. That’s the focus on this book – adding some beaded flair to ordinary objects. What a beautiful way to do a bit of recycling!”
Bead-Embellished Objects includes 17 projects incorporating some of the most widely used beadworking techniques.
• Back Stitch
• Brick Stitch
• Herringbone Stitch
• Netting
• Peyote Stitch
• Right-angle Weave
This self-published booklet has dozens of detailed illustrations in black and white, with full color finished object photographs. Within the pages are very helpful primers on 2-Drop Peyote Stitch, Brick Stitch, Horizontal Netting, Right-Angle Weave and Tubular Peyote Stitch.
“Always remember the bead artists’ creed: practice makes better.”
