Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Attention, beaders! Unusual pendants, bracelets, tassels, dolls, earrings, and more await you here in Garden of Beading. With these instructions, you'll be able to create your own miniature bags, dolls, necklaces, pendants, and so much more! Here are tips for starting and ending thread, how to zigzag through beads, and suggestions on needles, beads, and thread to use to ensure your project is of the utmost quality. The fabulous projects here, all illustrated, include: *Spring Floral Necklace *Earrings and Bracelet *Circle of Friends Pendant *Egyptian Bracelet *Earth Angel *Ancient Mother *Love Angel's Bag *Goddess *Angel of Love *Tribal Doll *Pixie Doll *Tiny Goddess *Tassels *Floral Doll *And more! The designs here were all developed with cylinder beads in mind. Author and beading enthusiast Lisa Ann Claver suggests using Miyuki Delicas or Toho Aikos brand beads, but says you can substitute a standard 11-inch seed bead in her designs--the only thing to keep in mind is that the final design might be longer and narrower when not using a standard cylinder bead. For best results, she recommends against using a standard "craft" bead. Craft beads tend to be uneven and can result in inconsistent beadwork. These gorgeous projects will excite and inspire you to create more elaborate and beautiful bead projects than you've ever made before. Don't wait. Get beading!
