How to Do Bead Work
Publisher: Dover Publications, November 2010.
Binding: Trade Paperback
ISBN: 0486206971
"How to Do Beadwork" is a fundamental book on the craft, covering every aspect in full, not only patterns and operations but selection of materials - which beads to use, what type of thread, even what size needle. The very lucidly organized text starts the reader off with the simplest projects to complete, five bead chains (some with tassels), and works up gradually to woven works. For weaving beads, instructions are first given for constructing a good, basic loom from a few simple objects, and then directions are detailed from 18 different chains, various patterned fobs, three belts, and an interesting card case. A slightly more complicated process of weaving follows, diagonal weaving without a loom, and many items to be made in this way (including a particularly beautiful purse with butterfly design) are fully described and illustrated step-by-step.
