Teach Yourself VISUALLY Beadwork: Learning Off-Loom Beading Techniques One Stitch at a Time

A subset of jewelry making, beadwork involves connecting small beads with a needle and thread. These bead stitching techniques are used to make bands of beaded fabric for bracelets, beaded beads, and pendants; flat circles of beads for focal accents, earrings, and pendants; beaded tubes for round bracelet bands or necklaces; and ornate bezels for gemstones. While many other books on the market focus on patterns or on a single technique or type of project, this book will serve as a comprehensive resource for beadwork techniques, from simple stitches that any beginner can do to more advanced ones that crafters can work up to as they build their skills. The projects will be appealing and modern, and every page will include detailed color photos and diagrams that make it easy to follow along.
