Beaded Embellishment: Techniques & Designs for Embroidering on Cloth

This is my favorite beading book of all time. The instructions are simple and helpful and the examples in the gallery are exquisite. After five minutes with this book I'm hauling out my beads and needle, even when I'm exhausted from a day at work.

I found this book to be a great resource and it has great color images and specific easy to follow instructions that can be used by both intermediate or beginner alike. Great gallery shots of award winning designers. I am an aspiring couture artist and have found that most books don't cover or illustrate high fashion techniques or projects and this one is the answer to my prayers!!! A must read

I got so much inspiration from this book just from leafing through..then upon further inspection, I just can't wait to try some of the designs within my crazy quilt projects. I took a beading class from the author so I had an idea the book would be useful. It it well organized and wonderfully done. I recommend it highly!

Wonderfull source of inspiration and very clear how-to explanations to get started in beading embellishments. This book could be usefull for every person interested in textile art, embelished artquilts or crazy quilts. It worth every dollars spent and much more !

I love this book. It has a lot of things to look at(most of the items in the gallery were not really to my taste but they were still interesting)and good little sections on technique which were not too impenetrable for me--I know embroidery and making jewelry, but not beading. Many books and articles on beading and beaded embroidery emphasize technique over design and this book doesn't have that problem. Similarly one is often advised to use all the same type and size of beads and the authors cheerfully tell you that they think mixing up sizes make the finished product more interesting. I agree. I will not be making any of the projects line for line but they have given me ideas for things I want to design myself, which I'm sure would please the authors.
