The Art of Beadwork: Historic Inspiration, Contempory Designby Valerie Hector
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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 to Craftrends, 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 Book News Annotation:A leading US beadwork artist invited peers to fashion a wearable
piece inspired by beadwork from another culture/era. E.g., beaded
items from King Tut's tomb inspired earrings by Joyce Scott. In a
beautifully illustrated tribute to this craft, Hector offers
overviews of beading traditions and techniques, artist profiles, and
how-to projects. Inspired by top-quality beadwork from diverse
cultures, 19 projects contain complete instructions with diagrams.
Lois Sherr Dubin, author of The History of Beads, provides the
foreword.
