Beaded Adornment (Beadwork Books)
Learn the intriguing technique of bead weaving and put your newfound skills to work with these two dozen projects, ranging in design from echoes of Victoriana to Southwestern styles. Using the back stitch, netting, brick stitch, edging, peyote, and split-loom methods, you'll create cabochon necklaces, beaded collars, dangly earrings, amulet bags, and other becoming pieces of jewelry. If you're new to the craft, you may find each chapter's troubleshooting section particularly helpful in determining what might have gone wrong and how to salvage it.--Amy Handy
