Spirit of the West: Amulet Bags in Peyote Stitch
Spirit of the West is a pattern book of images to create in Peyote Stitch or Brick Stitch. There are nine patterns including a gray wolf, a horse at sunset, a coyote, the sunset over the mountains, a brown bear, a bald eagle, a horse kachina, a bobcat, and a squirrel. Each pattern is presented with both a lettered chart of the image and a word chart. The lettered chart is easier to read than a chart with symbols and can be used as a guide for Brick Stitch. The word chart lays out the bead pattern one row at a time for Peyote Stitch, which is much easier than following the chart.An introductory chapter also includes instructions in traditional peyote stitch, selecting beads, colors, and threads, assembling an amulet bag, and adding fringe and a strap. The final page of the book also lists some suggestions on what to do with your beadwork if you do not want to make an amulet bag. This book is the part of a series of pattern books for Peyote Stitch. Watch for more books coming soon.
