Brand New Book: Hardcover Book with Jacket Sleeve, 406 Pages long. $29.95 USA Retail, $32.95 Canada. The Ultimate Reference on Beads and Beading. From Abalone to Zipper Stitch, this profusely illustrated guide covers a broad range of beading subjects and presents encyclopedic entries on historical background, technical details, and cultural customs. It includes: A comprehensive A-to-Z listing of rose-petal, fertility, wampum, wedding sacrifice, pumtek, Viking, and other beads. An instructional guide on buying materials and mastering techniques. Essential tables and charts on bead shapes, needle and thread sizes, gemstones and birthstones, the Mohs scale of hardness, and more. Drawings of twenty-one common stitches, knotting and finishing techniques, and three graphs. Do you create or collect beautiful objects - from jewelry to decorative accessories - embellished with beadwork? Are you interested in beading as an art form, a medium of personal expression, or as a connection to the tradition of native people? Then this all-encompassing guide is for you. At the heart of the book is an illustrated encyclopedia of bead types and styles, materials, tools and lore. It will enable you to determine, for example, the difference between a green stone called adventurine and the more valuable jade. It explains traditions like the spiritual significance of the ancient Korean magatama. There's also technical advice such as when to fit a necklace with a magnetic clasp. This comprehensive volume has entries related to pop culture. (Look up beaded beards and you'll find some examples that are similar to those worn by Johnny Depp in the Pirates of The Caribbean movie.) In Beading Tips and Techniques you'll find a question-and-answer format to help you learn how to buy materials and tools or deal with snags. It's easy to look up any topic you'd like to know more about, from which manufacturers make the best seed beads to which size needle goes best with which thread size. Whether you're a beginner or have more experience with the craft, you'll appreciate the practical and handy tables and charts on gemstone cuts and treatments, the Mohs scale of hardness; karats indicating the purity of gold; stringing materials; and birthstones. You'll also find drawings of twenty-one common stitches or weaves, various knotting and finishing techniques, and three graphs you can photocopy for use as templates. Complete with stunning work by artists from around te world, this unique reference is an invaluable source of information for beaders, collectors, jewelers, and anyone who admires fine workmanship.
