Basics 1
Introduction To Beadwork
This series of books is designed to help you learn new stitches, give you beadwork confidence, and inspire you to create your own masterpieces. All three books give you the information and help that you need in order to start beading, but each book has a slightly different emphasis. The Bracelets Book doubles as a Stitch Samples; The Earrings Book focuses on techniques to create both flat and 3D shapes; and this new Necklaces Book also introduces the elements of design. Whilst all the books can be used independently, if you progress through the books in this order, your beadwork will also progress, from gaining confidence in the different stitches, to the intricacies of shaping, through to the satisfaction of designing your own project and having the skills and confidence to implement that design.
