By "enjers" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beaded Embellishment: Techniques & Designs for Embroidering on Cloth (Paperback)
... this book may give you whatever little push you need toward working beads into that. There's a smallish section on 'Getting Started,' which offers not-nearly-enough info on beads in general plus a few tips on cloth-needles-thread. You'll need to use your own imagination and needlework experience and do a bit of experimenting. The 20-page section on techniques is the most useful part of the book. There are also 10 projects, only a couple of which I found inspiring or useful. The author could easily have dispensed with the rest of the book : the 'History of Beading on Cloth' (more like a brief overview) and the entire 'Gallery' (not projects, just pictures). The 'Resources' section is especially disappointing; the author chose to list only six bead shops, five of them on or near the west coast.

A Gotta-Have Book,

This review is from: Beaded Embellishment: Techniques & Designs for Embroidering on Cloth (Paperback)
I have done beaded embroidery and find it fascinating. This book blew me away with the photographs -- absolutely beautiful! The book itself didn't tell me too much that I didn't already know as far as technique, but it helped me to look at beaded embroidery in a new light, and provided new ideas. It was worth every penny that I spent on it.

This review is from: Beaded Embellishment: Techniques & Designs for Embroidering on Cloth (Paperback)
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.
