Anyone Have this book?
 

Bead Crochet Snakes by Adele Recklies?

I don't even know how to bead crochet but I would love to read more about
the history of this, and since I think snakes are kind of neat anyway, I'd
probably want to try making one.

Just wanted to get some feedback if this was a good book or not by someone
who has it. I may want to put it on my birthday list.

I don't have the book, but I've made snakes using tubular herringbone for
the body and brick stitch for the head, with cats' eye beads for eyes. I did
one and threaded it on memory wire so it wraps around the arms four times
and another with a beaded loop
under the head so you can wear it as a lariat.

Tubular herringbone makes a very slinky, realiztic snake body.

I was just curious to read th book, too. I thought it looked interesting.
I do kind of want to learn to make a snake though, too! And gee, I just
learned tubular herringbone!!
