Book Description

Publication Date: April 1993

Sometimes lightning does strike twice in the same spot! Following the overwhelming success of her first book, Eagle's View is very excited to present Sig Wynne-Evans' second book of sensational new Comanche (or Brick) Stitch earring designs. Our newest publication provides yet another answer to often repeated requests for new and different beading designs. Book II presents 46 fresh new patterns in the same popular format as Book I. Experienced and beginning jewelerymakers will cherish this catchy new collection of unique designs and use it over and over again. The designs will also thrill appliqu beadworkers, who can incorporate the design images into their projects. Featuring contemporary and Native American themes, the designs focus on images or pictures, rather than standard geometric designs. Add complete, illustrated instructions for the Comanche Stitch and this book is truly a must for everyone interested in creating beauty with beads.

The introduction provides basic information on beads, needles, thread, work space, and organization, as well as some thoughts on design and the business of selling finished beadwork. This is followed by a complete set of illustrated instructions for making Diamond and Triangle earrings with the Comanche Weave or Brick Stitch technique. Bead by bead patterns for each design are provided on separate pages and there are eight color pages with pictures of 32 of the earring designs.

Designs included are: Apple, Shamrock, Fishes, Cockatiel, Witch, Kachina, Moo, Gemini, Guitar, Pisces, Lady Bug, Zebra, Poinsettia, Libra, Giraffe, Seagull, Buffalo Head, Forget Me Nots, Butterfly II, Balloons, Flamenco Dancer, Unicorn, Sailboat, Girl & Moon, Raccoon, Corn, Eve, Adam, Rose, Bug, Cat Eyes, Eagle Mask, Sagittarius, Merlin, Rainbow Goddess, Koala, Shaman, Chile Pepper, Owl, Carousel Horse, Eagle, Clown, Butterfly I, Rocking Horse, and Duck with Hearts.

This review is from: Earring Designs by Sig 2 (Paperback)

This book has many good patterens and they are easy to follow. There is good information in the book on the size of seed beads, needles and the type of threads to use. The illustrations are rather crude, but still easy to understand and use to make the desired design. There are some color pictures but not all of the designs have a colored picture to see what the design looks like when finished. I liked both books by Sigrid Wynne-Evans. They were very helpful in learning the brick stitch or Comanche Weave as it is sometimes called. This is the first book I bought to learn the brick stitch. It is a good book for beginners.
