7 X 8 1/2, Spiral Bound, 274 pages, Color Photos, B&W graphs$28.95 ISBN# 9645957-0-2 This is an excellent book for a new beader.
That being the case, lots of long-time beaders will get a lot out of this one, too. Nearly every aspect of beadwork is covered, from Peyote stitch, to leather stitching, and much in between. Sections such as Basic Information, Working With Wire, Beadweaving, Wathcbands, Knotwork and Seedbeads cover a great deal of valuable information. Wendy also draws great graphics for her patterns, and there are 24 full color pages of finished work.
Lots of patterns are included as well. Techniques for making necklaces and earrings are great basics, as are the beadmaking instructions and the hatpins! Lots of "other" information, such as stone lore, symbolism, color and design basics are covered, too.
A lovely book and a must for every library.
