Knot one, bead two, and what have you got? Bold jewelry made from an eclectic collection of beads, including one-of-a-kind lampwork beads, silver ethnic beads, exotic stones, and a selection of luscious fibers. These 30 beautiful projects show what’s possible when a time-tested technique gets a fashionable update with contemporary materials and a modern aesthetic. The knots are simple and familiar to most crafters: basic overhand, square, and hitches. And once that’s mastered the rest is easy. Create a spiraled necklace out of linen cord and a single stunning enamel and gold-leaf focus bead. Work silky ribbon yarn in an open net to make an elegant lariat beaded scarf. How-to illustrations, beauty shots, and numerous construction tips help illuminate the process. Jane Olson-Phillips holds a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut. Her work has been featured in several books and magazines including Beadwork and Belle Armoire. Author — Jane Olson-Phillips. Paperback. 128 pages 8½" × 10". |
