Cabin Fever Designs I by Sheri Nelson 12 pages $16.95 Sheri Nelson P.O. Box 30022 Central, AK 99730 Info@SheriNelson.com |
 This book has some great designs in it. The stylized Tlingit style whale heads the list of my favorites. The moose, orca, cardinal and fox are also very striking. All patterns are presented in full color on slick paper and are accompanied by bead counts and delica color numbers. Many of the designs are for larger flat peyote necklaces rather than amulet bags. The extra space allows for some wonderfully detailed designs. The book includes color photos of each completed piece showing strap and fringe ideas. Some of the bags have strap graphs, but most do not. Stitch instructions are not included but she does give several helpful hints and design tips. You can see many of the completed pieces from the book on Sheri's website at http://www.sherinelson.com. Here is a list of all the patterns in the book: The Whale Necklace - orcas with northern lights in background Moose Husky - tubular brick Turtle Butterfly & Roses When Pigs Fly - pig with wings Buffalo Eagle Feather - shaped peyote Fox Northwestern Whale Cardinal Victorian Angel Pansy Butterfly Visions - geometric with moon, star, arrow, diamond (god's eye) and feather symbols Diamonds - geometric Tutankhamun Polar Bear Skull - buffalo skull Chains - Celtic-ish geometric |
