An indispensable guide to beads and beading techniques, presenting
essential beading know-how together with a wide range of
inspirational projects, tips and ideas. Beads are the oldest and
most widespread art form, having been used in virtually every
culture since ancient times. Over the years new materials and
methods of making beads have been introduced and now bead workers
have a vast array of stunning beads to work with. Beading has also
developed over the years and, even though many traditional
techniques are still popular, the craft is constantly evolving.
With so many techniques, and such a vast array of beads and
materials available for the contemporary beader, there is
definitely a need for a comprehensive guide. The Beading Bible is
just that - an encyclopaedia of beads and beading techniques that
aims to educate and inspire anyone who loves working with beads.
The Beading Bible begins by looking at beads themselves; how to
choose beads from metal, modelled, gemstone, seed beads and
cylinder beads to hex beads, crystals, glass and bugle beads. There
are handy tables to help you to understand how beads are measured
and bead quantities, as well as advice on choosing bead colours.
You are then guided through the basic to more specialist tools and
equipment that you will need in beadwork. You will find each
beading technique explained in detail throughout the chapters.
However, the book begins by giving you the basic knowledge of
essential techniques, such as working from a chart and knotting.
The book is divided into eight chapters that cover all the
traditional techniques: bead loom weaving, off loom bead stitches,
ropes and cords, fringing, netting and tassels, threading and
stringing, wire work and jewellery techniques, bead embroidery and
even knitting and crochet with beads. Within each chapter you are
guided through the basic skills, tools and materials, before
tackling more advanced techniques. Inspiration pages will give you
interesting ideas using the different techniques, and there are
over 30 fabulous projects, ranging from beautiful bags and
jewellery to stylish scarves and accessories - perfect excuses for
trying out your new skills! Easy-to-follow step-by-step
instructions, clear diagrams and stunning photography combine to
