Product Description
Book Description
This is the first seed bead workbook to supply large, clear, graphic illustrations plus instructions on how to thread many popular jewelry patterns. Written with beaders of all ages in mind, this book provides a framework for creating attractive and colorful rings, bracelets, napkin holders, necklaces and earrings. The patterns come from cultures throughout the world, many of which were collected by the author during her travels. The book is a must for the beginning and intermediate seed bead worker, and several of the patterns may be taught to children as young as 7 years old. It is also a great "glossary" of pattern ideas that experienced bead addicts can use in their own designs.
The fun begins with simple chains and a beaded ball and loop clasp that can be put on any pattern. Each page has a graphic pattern large enough to place beads on, and a clear illustration of how to thread the beads. A short set of specific instructions offers further guidance, along with several hints on how to vary the design to create unique pieces. The next patterns show how to create simple lacy bracelets and slender lace necklaces. Three patterns show simple, beautiful earrings. Finally, there are patterns for creating larger, elegant lace necklaces and chokers. Color photos of all jewelry patterns are provided.
Patterns included are: Ball and Loop Clasp; Lace Loop Chains I & II; Lace Loop Necklace with Diamonds; Lace Diamond Pattern; Multi-Diamond Pattern; Medallion Pattern; Pretzel Loop Pattern; Flower Chains I & II; Hour Glass Loop Pattern; Pagoda Earrings; Dangling Diamond Earrings; Spider Web Earrings; Chain Link Necklace; Hula Hoop Necklace; Pennant Choker Necklace; Julia's Necklace; Empress Choker Necklace; Hanging Bead Necklace; Julia's Loopy Necklace; and Valentine Necklace.
This is a wonderful new book for all ages and skill levels!
80 illustrations; 6 pages in Full Color.

Sorry I bought this book,

Ce commentaire est de: Simple Lace and Other Beaded Jewelry Patterns: (For Ages 7 to 70) (Paperback)
I was highly disapointed with this book. Although the pictures are beautiful, many are variations on the instructions,which I found confusing. Although it was fairly easy to follow the thread path once I got going, it was VERY difficult to figure out where to start. I made up several items, and none meet up to my expectations, the loops don't "loop" and the necklaces don't drape.

Large and detailed sketches guarantee that you can follow the instructions for the bead lace in this book. Light on color pictures, heavy with ideas. Most laces are made with a single needle, but there are a few two needle laces at the end of the book. Good for beginners and advanced beaders - enjoy!

what a great book!,

Ce commentaire est de: Simple Lace and Other Beaded Jewelry Patterns: (For Ages 7 to 70) (Paperback)
I've been wanting to learn how to make bead lace for a long time but never came across a book I thought was worth buying until this one. The instructions are excellent and the illustrations are large and clear. Everything is done in simple easy steps which makes it great for children and for adult novices alike. So far I have made "Julia's Loopy Necklace," a bracelet using the lace diamond pattern and the "Pagoda Earrings" (which actually look like little Christmas trees). Patterns and instructions for a wide variety of pretty necklaces, chokers, earrings, bracelets and rings are included as well as detailed descriptions of materials plus beautiful photographs of finished pieces. This would be a terrific book for grandparents/parents/aunts and children to get so they can make lovely pieces of jewelery together.
