Getting Started with Seed Beads By Dustin Wedekind Publisher Interweave Press Edition Hardback Size 204 x 204 mm Illustrations 120 Pages 128 Dustin Wedekind has been an integral part of Beadwork magazine for seven years. He serves as the primary technical editor and illustrator for projects encompassing the entire genre of beading. With a degree in fine arts from Colorado State University, he also contributes to the creative side of Beadwork with his own project designs, juried art exhibits, and the reader-interactive Bead Boy column that challenges everyone to find "creative solutions for beading". He lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. This must-have resource includes all the basics in a warm, encouraging tone: how to shop for beads, findings, and tools, giving the basic techniques with clear step-by-step full colour illustrations, and of course plenty of great projects. With Getting Started with Seed Beads you'll begin by simply gluing beads to a base, then progress logically to manipulating traditional stitches such as peyote, backstitch and brick stitch. You'll also learn how to finish off your project expertly. Projects include beaded greeting cards, a curiously beaded tin, a cross-stitch tote, a beaded and sequined pin, a fabric floral patch, beaded ribbons, a loomworked choker, and much, much more.
