|
Off-loom bead weaving uses a single needle and thread to weave together beads into a fabric or 3-dimensional object. This technique, which includes a variety of stitches including herringbone, peyote, brick, square, right angle weave, African helix, etc. lends itself to fashioning striking accessories. Beadweaving Brilliance 2, the sequel to last fall's well-received Beadweaving Brilliance provides detailed, easy-to-follow directions for making a stunning array of jewelry and decorative pieces including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, eyeglass chains and straps and even a needle case. |

I was very excited about this author's first book so I see no reason not to also like this second one. She has 6 basic stitches with the emphasis on peyote in all its types. Three patterns for spiral rope for bracelet, necklace, and lariat. This is followed by patterns in 6 sitches. They include rings in peyote, eyeglass chain and bracelet in daisy, cellphone strap and bracelet in herringbone, necklace and bracelet in netting, earrings and pendant in brick stitch, bracelet and choker in RAW. Two pages on basic tools and supplies which include the latest materials, 3 pages called basic stitch maps illustrating the stitches. Then a "bonus" section on peyote. This includes bracelet in even peyote, ring in two drop peyote, bracelet and beaded bead necklace in tubular peyote and a lovely spiral necklace in peyote. Then comes 3 dinensional peyote with a miniature jewelry box and tiny tote bag. Followed by circular peyote with an applique, and a curly bracelet and frilled pendant. Then odd-count peyote with a cellphone strap, brooch and choker. The instructions include both words and color charts and lots of tips. The beads used are given in both millimeter sizes and the 8s and 11s which are the sizes used in the western world. I think that for the price this is excellent value and is good for self learning or with a class. I haven't made anything yet so will upgrade this review after I have.
