More Seed Bead Stitching: Creative Variations on Traditional Techniques [Paperback]

Beth Stone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2009

"Beadwork is a puzzle with infinite solutions," says author and bead artist Beth Stone. In Seed Bead Stitching, she explored the many possibilities for creating jewelry with colorful seed beads and charming accents such as pearls and gemstones. In More Seed Bead Stitching, Stone, whose encouraging tone, creativity, and expert knowledge made the previous book so popular, includes new techniques, more variations on techniques, and more detail on concepts she previously introduced. The book contains a wealth of options for making gorgeous beaded jewelry. After outlining the basics and supplies, Stone presents a series of styles such as Ndebele, Daisy, Inspiration, Peyote, and Spiral, with variations for each. Equally useful for crafts of any skill level, the book includes a dozen different fringe techniques; strategies for combining tubular stitches and accent beads; a section on skinny stitches; and a bonus project of square pillows.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice take on seed bead stitches, November 24, 2009

It's important to know the different bead stitches for making your own beaded jewelry, designing, but also following patterns published by other 'Bead Goddesses'. Not only does this book show you how to do each stitch, but it also adds some fun to it instead of just making a flat piece of work.

I liked this book as much if not more than Seed Bead Stitching. The book contains great variations of the regular old stitches. The author uses fun colors and great pictures and instructions to move you out of the usual. I think of this as a great reference for finishing off a piece with a unique necklace or stepping up the basic bracelet. The book will be useful for both beginners and advanced beaders.
