Beaded Adornment is a must have.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beaded Adornment (Beadwork Books) (Paperback)
Jeanette Shanigan has carefully laid out over 20 projects designed to expose those interested in beadwork to a myriad of styles and levels of beadwork craft. The photography is wonderful both for the artfully designed layout of the completed project as well as the close-up detail. Jeanette's experience clearly shows through in the beadwork displayed throughout the book.

Beaded Adornment,
By Christine Saalbach - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beaded Adornment (Beadwork Books) (Paperback)
Author Jeanette Shanigan is a member of the Anchorage Chapter of the Alaska Bead Society. In her book, she shows six beadwork techniques to create 23 necklace and earring sets. Techniques include: backstitch, netting, brick stitch and edge beading, peyote stitch, and split-loom weaving.Even if you are familiar with these techniques, Jeanette's book is worth a look because of her last chapter, a "Gallery of Beadwork by Alaskan Artists." Readily apparent is the influence of Alaska's wilderness on the work of these artists. Donna Affinito submitted an earth-toned amulet bag and a butterfly barrette she fashioned from "bits and pieces from my bead box." "Fire and Icicles" and "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" are Ruby Brooks's seed bead contributions. Jana Chisum Coffey does lampwork using Morreti glass. She fashions beads that look like shells. Lillian Ann Dewilde uses unusual, natural materials for her jewelry. She embellishes smoked moosehide with Swarovsky crystals. Most unusual is her use of dyed caribou and reindeer hair, arranged in tufts like on a chenille bedspread. Porcupine quills decorate a heart-shaped box and necklace. Jacqueline Poston uses one of lampwork artist Andrea Guarino's beads in a complicated "Tidal Pool" necklace. The author Jeanette shows her sense of humor with her "Moose Nugget Factory" amulet bag necklace. Rebecca Starry lives up to her name with a spectacular "In Full Bloom." She employs brick stitch and horizontal square stitch in colorful three-dimensional flowers, using Michelle Waldron's delicate lampwork beads for stamens. Yes, this book may echo others in beadwork techniques, but you can certainly get new ideas from the Alaskan artists represented in Beaded Adornment. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

A beading banquet.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beaded Adornment (Beadwork Books) (Paperback)
I'm on my third copy of this book. I've worn one out, loaned one to my daughter and, in order to keep one in hand, am ordering a back-up copy. Basic techniques, simple projects, excellent illustrations and step-by-step instructions in netting, peyote, loom and split loom, and techniques for beading around and incorporating cabouchons into the work are all here. Best of all, every project leads into innovation and creativity for the reader. For me, he simple peyote project has evolved into true life colored butterflies in beads. I heartily recommend this book to beginners and those who know the basics but want to jump ahead into creating their own designs.
