Publisher's Note A wealth of practical information with lush photographs for bead-lovers! Two of the world's most experienced embroiderers show how to choose, select, and make a variety of beads for all forms of hand and machine embroidery. Emphasizing how beads add color, texture and beauty to a piece of work, they guide the reader through all the basic techniques, looking at the many exciting ways of creating samples and finished embroideries. There are a variety of traditional and contemporary bead applications, including weaving with beads; sewing "trapped beads" (which are hidden beneath sheer fabric or partly wrapped with threads); stitching beads onto mesh and canvas; and adding them to fringes, edges, cords, chains, and tassels. Gorgeous pictures display a fabulous range of glass beads, bugles, pearls and semi-precious beads, sequins, ceramic and porcelain beads, and many more. A lovely and invaluable guide.
