The Art of Beadwork: Historic Inspiration, Contemporary Design

The Art of Beadwork: Historic Inspiration, Contemporary Design

Written by renowned jewelry designer Valerie Hector, this book introduces readers to the quality, diversity, and artistry of beadwork from around the world, from ancient to modern. Rather than providing instructions for simply copying designs, this book teaches beaders to translate one or more of a piece's characteristicsâ€”color, design, technique, and dimensionalityâ€”into innovative contemporary jewelry designs. This book guides readers through 24 exquisite projectsâ€”necklaces, earrings, pendants, pins, bracelets, hair ornaments, and bagsâ€”inspired by museum-quality beadworks from cultures in four geographic regions: Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
