Beading with Right Angle Weave

Want the RAW truth? Right-Angle Weave, despite its reputation as a difficult method of beadwork, is really quite easy once you learn the basics. Whether you create texture by using wildly different sizes of beads or a smooth, sleek look with seed beads, right-angle weave is delightfully supple and versatile beadwork for flat or sculptural projects. In Beading with Right Angle Weave, author Christine Prussing, a beadwork designer and teacher, demystifies this stitch by comparing both the single- and two-needle methods and illustrating how the needles are manipulated. After mastering the basics, you can create your own beautiful jewelry with 21 projects that include a trend-setting Garnet and Carnelian Necklace, a Bead Lace Jabot (a spectacular piece for a bride), an Italian Coral Necklace and Earrings, and a Sapphire Crystal Bracelet. All projects include easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations for both single- and two-needle techniques. Simple pieces for children or beginning beaders are followed by more complex projects that advanced beaders should find challenging - unique, three-dimensional explorations with cubes, frames, tablets, and boxes. Each project can be modified and personalized in dozens of ways, and the stunning, full-color gallery of masterful work will set you on the right path to designing your own inspiring creations.
