The big book of weekend beading by Natalie Cotgrove,Jean Power Pdf
Wherever beads are used, they enhance and embellish. Delicate crystals, glass beads, seed beads, rocailles, and bugle beads reflect the light to add sparkle; pearls, metallic or ceramic beads transform objects with colour and pattern. The excitement of beadwork is in its variety: from general beadwork, to stringing, bead embroidery and wirework. The amazing versatility of beads is explored in this scintillating selection of over 30 projects, which cover jewellery, clothing, home accessories and embroidered textiles. Simple projects at the start of each section give beginners an instant taste of success, leading them on to try larger-scale projects and further techniques. The comprehensive materials and techniques sections serve as the essential starting point for beginners and are an invaluable source of reference for more experienced beaders.
