The New Beadweaving: Great Projects with Innovative Materials

by Ann Benson

New in Paper

Master craftswoman Ann Benson exemplifies the art of beading with these fresh and stylish woven designs for jewelry, clothing, and decorative items. The appealing techniques range from loom weaving to brickstitching, and a primer with all the basics covers each method so beaders can get going right away. An Irish Sunset brooch features classic Celtic knotwork and exquisite stitchery; pearls and stones add extra dimension to the pin. A Heart Ornament, done with filet beading, makes a great gift for a loved one. Or stitch and bead a Kilim Rug, Kimono, Pretty Bridal Bag, Bargello Lamp, and Sunset Panel.

[Melanie Cook]

A nice book, with some lovely things in it. Not necessarily a book I'd want to keep for myself, but definitely good for inspiration and techniques.
