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 characteristics—color, design, technique, and dimensionality—into innovative contemporary jewelry designs. This book guides readers through 24 exquisite projects—necklaces, earrings, pendants, pins, bracelets, hair ornaments, and bags—inspired by museum-quality beadworks from cultures in four geographic regions: Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. • According toCraftrends, one in three crafters in the US engages in beading • Beadworkers and bead and jewelry enthusiasts are hungry for inspirational images of beadwork from other cultures • Contributors include beading luminaries Flora Book, David Chatt, Sharon Donovan, and Kathryn Harris

"First Nations, Métis and Inuit beadwork are beautiful art forms that are unique to North America. The patterns and techniques created and passed down through generations of our grandmothers are still being used today. Beadwork is not simple decoration of material goods. It is an expression of identity. It is an art form that connects us to the skills, the sacrifices and the creativity of our ancestors. Beadwork carries images that are ancient and reflect spiritual beliefs. And even more than that, beadwork is a healing art. Beadwork explores: the history of beads and the use of beads today ; the cultural and spiritual significance of beadwork ; show materials and various techniques used in beadwork regional styles in Canada ; diagrams and step-by-step instructions for different techniques."--pub. website.
