Elegant
Amulet Purses & Jewelry Using Delica & Seed Beads
Barbara
E. Elbe
$11.95 USD
A likely progression from images in earrings, amulet purses allow the
imagination to run wild. Barbara has created incredible miniature scenes
in beads. This amazing detail is allowed through the use of Delica beads.
The purses are done in brick stitch, which makes for a softer, flexible
feel (peyote stich can be substituted). Two other weaving techniques are
introduced, herringbone and right angle weave done with seed beads. Also
included is a section on how to create turn of the century crocheted cord
jewelry: necklaces, bracelets and key chains. Though resembling peyote stitch,
they are done in a spiraling fashion, far more elegant and extremely flexible.
