How to Bead Earrings - an Artistic Approach Book

Yearn for new beading techniques? Bent upon learning the basics? Crave complete easy-to follow instructions? Lust for lots of illustrations? This diverse book has them all. First-time author Lori Berry has used her creative talents to produce the most comprehensive beaded earring book Eagle's View has ever had the pleasure to publish. Designed to interest and challenge beadworkers at every skill level, from beginning to advanced, "How To Bead Earrings" presents a broad range of methods for making beaded earrings, from conventional beading techniques through a series of fresh new earring styles. More than 60 new and original patterns are provided to compliment this wide variety of earring techniques, along with suggestions for the craftsperson wishing to create their own designs . Above all, however, this is a "How-To" book in the best Eagle's View tradition, with clear, useful instructions and plenty of illustrations for each and every earring style described. "How To Bead Earrings" begins with a detailed Getting Started section, which provides information on Choosing Materials, Using the Book, and Basic Techniques. Flat Woven Earrings include the ever popular Comanche or Brick Stitch style and the Non-Loom Stitch style, which looks like beaded loomwork, but is done using a single needle. Techniques for using either seed or bugle beads in the body of the earring are described for both these earring styles, along with bead-by-bead pattern diagrams. The creation of Beaded Cabochon Earrings, using appliqu techniques, is described next, along with several edging styles. The section on making Beaded Crystal Earrings includes chapters on beading Cylindrical, Spherical, and Fluorite Crystals. Techniques include the Two-Drop Peyote Stitch, Netted Coverings, Modified Comanche Stitch, Three-Drop Peyote Stitch, and the Modified Daisy Chain Stitch. New Beaded Earring Styles and the techniques used to create them include Beaded Stars (both six- and five-sided), Beaded Hearts, Beaded Feathers, Beaded Flowers (Budding, Blooming, Daisy, and Rosette Flowers), Beaded Rosettes (which look similar to the rosettes produced by stitching beads to material, but require no backing), and Beaded Snowflakes. This is a truly exciting book that every creative person will want to use and own. The best and most comprehensive of its kind. 341 illustrations; 63 color-coded patterns and bead diagrams; 9 B&W photographs; 4 pages in full color.Read More
