The Art of Beadweaving: Exquisite Beaded Jewellery Jane Lock

Every Technique for On- and Off-Loom Beadweaving and Beadwork with Cylinder Beads, Rocailles, Czech Glass, and more.
The definitive reference book for everything beadwork, offering a compendious collection of techniques, both on- and off-loom, for creating exquisite pieces using tiny beads. Each of the many techniques is illustrated with large how-to photographic steps (and inset diagrams for any especially tricky bits) and plenty of inspirational finished examples that use the techniques.
There's a Stitch Dictionary as well as definitions of the myriad types of beads: their composition, sizes, shapes, and finishes; and how to use them, with clear guidance on principles of colour and design, and jewellery construction. Includes a unique collection of projects by different designers to showcase techniques and encourage readers to try out new skills.

The Art of Beadweaving Bewertungen

Sept 13

This is a great reference book for anyone interested in beadwork. There are numerous techniques including off the loom ones. If you are ever stuck for technique know-how, this is a good book to find the answer to your problem. Each technique is illustrated with how to steps with clear photos and diagrams for clearer viewing. There is a directory of bead types, guidance on colour and design and a beautiful gallery of work. There are also detailed projects for necklaces and bracelets. This book is suitable for beginner and intermediate users.

Autumn 2013

A lot of hard work has gone into this book, with many clear diagrams and pictures for all the techniques and projects. It takes the beader through 13 different techniques plus variations and corresponding projects. Other sections contain details on getting started, design and colour, core techniques, beads, tools and threads plus much, much more. There are also guest designer projects to stretch and extend the skills learnt as well as a designer gallery of inspirational finished pieces - 'Beady Eye Candy'! A tools and materials list is given for both samples and projects but I would have liked the suppliers list for the UK at the back to have included a bigger selection, although most established beaders have their favourite suppliers and know how to use the internet to search for more. This is a book for beginners and the more experienced alike - one to dip in and out of at will since there is so much information in it that you can well overdose in one sitting! While I would do some things differently, since we all develop our own habits and ways, nonetheless you certainly won't go far wrong in using this book to learn the craft of beading. It will be a great addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in beading, especially if they cannot get to a class.

Über Jane Lock

Jane Lock is a jewellery designer and writer with a background in knitting and museum-licensing. She is obsessed with small beads and beadweaving techniques, and loves to share this passion via workshops and her published designs. When not beading, knitting or writing Jane can be found in her local bead shop talking about beading. Nancy is a long-time beader and self-confessed beadaholic. She sells her creations online and works mainly in off-loom stitches, though she is currently in a bead embroidery phase, with right angle weave coming in a close second. Carol is a former English teacher and professional writer/editor who discovered the creative joys of beading when she grew "tired of analysing everything." She founded her beading and quilting company Sand Fibers in 2005, and hasn't looked back since. Heather started beading stringing in 2007 and soon found she needed a greater challenge. After battling with Peyote as her first stitch, she realised a passion had been born. She now sells her creations online. Glenda holds a growing list of awards for her art beadwork, which she also sells online as well as writing "about beadwork and beyond" for various beading magazines. Kerrie has "lived and breathed beads" since her first encounter with beading around nine years ago. She has since had designs published online and in beading magazines in the UK, USA, and Germany. She runs her own beading company, Kerrie Slade Contemporary Beadwork, where she showcases her creations and sells her patterns, and runs beading tutorials.
