Beadweaving on a loom creates beautiful graphic designs as wide or as narrow as you want—and mixed-media artist Sharon Bateman captures the many ways this traditional craft has risen to new creative heights.

The 35 projects include jewelry (a “Window Pane” Bracelet or dog collars for Fido and Fifi), chic accessories (a beaded checkbook cover), home décor items, gift ideas, and more.
