Arranged in a Q & A format, this handbook covers all the basics: different types of beads, tools, materials, techniques for 18 easy projects (each building on the one before), and 14 more challenging ones. Incorporate knotting, use pressure crimps and stitching to make ornaments, jewelry, needlepoint, a wrapped candleholder, and more. “Benson takes the mystery out of basic beadwork techniques.”—Library Journal.
A structured foundation course for needlepoint, this text is an introduction for the beginner and a source of ideas for the more accomplished. The main thrust is how to work the stitches successfully and how to use them to the best effect.
