About Dimensional Bead Embroidery: A Reference Guide To
Product Description From popular author Jamie Cloud Eakin comes a fantastic all-around bead-embroidery guidebook. Modeled on Eakin's acclaimed Beading with Cabochons, Dimensional Bead Embroidery shows beaders how to use old stitches in new ways and lays out boundary-breaking techniques for embroidering beads onto a base fabric with beaded bezels. Focusing especially on cabochons and large, eye-catching focal beads, the book covers decorative stitches such as fringes, picots, and rope edging. Nine illustrated projects include bracelets, necklaces, earrings, a brooch, and a purse. The book includes a gallery of bead-embroidered jewelry from a variety of artists. Review "Jamie Cloud Eakin's latest book is a valuable instructional tool for bead-embroidery fans of all skill levels. More than 30 different techniques are clearly illustrated with thorough instructions: 10 surface stitches, 11 edging techniques, seven bezel stitches, and four techniques showing how to attach the embroidered piece to a necklace or bracelet. Step out of the seed-beads-only mindset, and learn clever ways to use rivolis, crystals, donuts, and buttons in your bead-embroidery projects. In addition, this book offers detailed instructions to complete nine projects. With more than 200 photographs, including a gallery of beadwork by a variety of artists, Dimensional Bead Embroidery is a book you will refer to over and over again." - Bead&Button magazine "Spanning bead-stitching techniques through bead-design strategy, Jamie Cloud Eakin's Dimensional Bead Embroidery: A Reference Guide to Techniques provides a wealth of knowledge.
