Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Employing seed and bugle beads in two different basic techniques--needleweaving and card stitching--Beadweaving presents 50 beautiful projects, each with full step-by-step instructions and patterns. The needleweaving method is worked in counted rows from a gridded pattern, resulting in interesting geometric-based designs. In card stitching, the beads are sewn directly onto a lightweight cardboard or manila folder; because a geometric grid is not necessary, the designs can be more freeform and curvilinear. Ranging from contemporary to traditional, the attractive projects include necklaces, pins, earrings, belts, barrettes, and small purses, all accompanied by color photos of the finished pieces. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist
Benson capitalizes on a renewed interest in bead craft in this beautiful book that turns craft into wearable art. Using black-and-white diagrams to clarify procedures, she introduces two types of beadwork--needle weaving, in which beads are threaded together, and card stitching, in which beads are sewn directly on to a backing of lightweight cardboard or construction paper. But techniques are only a small part of this book. More than 40 gorgeous projects--mostly jewelry and decorative accessories--are included, with graphed or gridded patterns, step-by-step instructions, and a complete list of materials right down to bead size and color. It's a splendid book for the patient craftsperson. Stephanie Zvirin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
