Elegant Beadwork: 25 beaded jewels with right-angle weave
This book presents step-by-step instructions of 25 elegant beaded jewels. The instructions contain diagrams depicting the bead stitching process. The diagrams are easy to follow and intended for beginners as well as for more experienced crafters. The color scale of the presented jewels is very wide and variable. These pieces are elegant and feminine, intended for special occasions, but also fit for everyday wearing. All the jewels presented in the book combine RAW (right-angle-weave) with other basic techniques. You can apply them using not only seed beads, but pressed or crystal beads as well, creating new shapes. Of course, the C-RAW (cubic right-angle-weave), which is the base technique for the Flora pendant, cannot be missing. Precisely with this pendant I introduce a new form of C-RAW stitching, which is original, simpler than the traditional one, but provides the very same result. You can make the base of the Arabian nights bracelet and embellish it with sparkly crystal beads. Weave the two-row, blue and golden bracelet with two holed Bar beads. Do not hesitate and be creative, as some of the presented designs are variable. You can make just one component of a particular piece and use it as a pendant, or complete it with two more components of the kind and wear them as a two piece set of necklace and earrings. Let this book be an inspiration and try to replenish the presented designs with your own ideas, to create new beaded originals.
