"Twenty-six charted projects fill this sumptuous book of canvas beadwork. Benson provides great introductory material....Projects are mostly classic, inspired by Persian rugs, landscape or still-life scenes....Challenging projects for pillows, purses, and wall hangings are real standouts." - Bead & Button.
A very well presented and colorful book. Good info on all types of beads. Many pattern suggestions. Info on all tools you will need, and types of beads to use for any project. If you want to bead your needlepoint canvases this is the book for you. Do not waste your money on other books like I did. If I had bought this book first, I would have stopped here.
A new slant on needlepoint for beaders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I checked this book out at the library and was so impressed I decided to buy one. The book has a very informative section on beads to use and how to do the actual process. There are several projects that seem easily doable for a beginner as well as projects for intermediate and advanced needlepointers. It is an all around good book that will get you started in the technique and inspire you to try regular needlepoint projects using this new technique.
Beautiful projects

A nice range of wonderfully colorful projects. The charts are large full-to several page charts. The first 24 pages are dedicated to information about beadpoint, the size, color and shapes of beads, calculating how many you need, preparing the canvas, thread, etc.
