I could only go so far trying to think of ways to bead. After
a while just changing the colour of bead or the shape just wasn’t enough .i
wanted to do something different than the two-bead back stitch. I went in
search of some bead embroidery books and bought four different books .the books
are all wonderful and have some gorgeous picture that can be used as
inspiration but the book that I was most happy with and kept turning to has to
be without a doubt “Dimensional Bead Embroidery “by Jamie Cloud Eakin.
Not only
is the book gorgeous, but also the instructions and techniques shown in the
book are crystal clear. I am not usually good at following written instruction,
as I am more of a visual person, but I found that it was very easy to follow
the instructions and the diagrams that follow them.
There are hundreds of images in this book that help serve as
great source of inspiration and the book feels really thorough, as in any type
of stitching, bezeling, edging technique one might need to finish off a beading
can be found in this book and then some. This book shows me that there are
things that can be done with beading that I didn’t think were even possible.
I love this book and whenever I feel like I am in a creative
rut and I don’t know what else to do in regards to beading I turn to this book
and try and do one of the techniques in this book. The techniques present some
great challenges to a beginner like me but they also help fuel that creative
drive and make me keep going and doing even more. I really could not recommend
this book enough!
