Native American Style Seed Bead Jewelry. Part I. Bracelets: 48 Loom Patterns

This book is a very good how to. The pictures are great and the instructions are easy to follow.

Please note that this book ONLY has patterns. If you're looking for instructions, this book won't be what you want.I like the patterns, and I'm happy with the booklet.

my daughter was very happy to get this book

The photos of the beaded deigns are adequate to replicate by an experienced bead looming person, but there are no written instructions or diagrams.

wonderful book, where ARE the instructions.but beautiful book

I highly recommend this book for anyone learning how to do bead work. The patterns are easy to follow and easy to adapt if you wish to make changes. Easy to see patterns and excellent photos to correspond with the patterns.

This book is thin, 32 pages (if you count front & back of each page). None of the pages are numbered. There are pictures of 3 "racelets" sp error. (bracelets). 48 bracelet loom patterns are presented. No stitches are shown or described. This is probably not easy for a beginner to begin this hobby with. No pictures of a loom are shown, only the flat, finished work.These apparently are not authentic Indian weaving patterns. They instead are "in the style of ..." Native American work.I would like to have seen actual authentic pieces, with a few comments. No author's name appears on the book credits.What I like about the book is the nicely colored photos & it's simplicity. No instructions only pictures. You must intuitively decide how to accomplish the method. It tells you the materials and amount of the materials to use.This book was damaged in shipping-not enough to send back, but folded & bent. The outer box was clearly crunched by a machine jamming it through a chute.

I ordered this book so I can work on some authentic Native American style jewelry. I can do that now after getting the book. It looks easy enough, it appears to have a good story about how the work was done back when.

Great for beginners. The patterns are very nice and easy to do. Always wanted jewelry like this now I can make my own.

parfait
