This auction is for the book "A Beadwork Companion - A Step by Step
Illustrated Workbook for Beading Projects" by Jean Heinbuch.

Following the success of her first book, "A Quillwork Companion", Jean
Heinbuch brings her sound, practical advice to the craft of beading with a
series of step by step illustrated projects designed to teach the beginner
and challenge the experienced. The book progresses from simple to complex
projects, from barrettes to fully beaded belts, adding new concepts and
skills each step of the way.

The reader learns not only beading skills, but design layout and leather or
fabric construction techniques as well. Detailed and exciting beading
designs are provided for each of the 11 projects, along with seven
additional designs at the back of the book. The beautiful designs and
project items are Native American in origin. They are naturals for those
interested in Native American culture, but their appeal and uses are much
broader and are limited only by the imagination of the crafter. Projects
described include: Hair Ornaments - Large Barrette, Heart Shaped Barrette
and Rosette Hair Ties; Beaded Bags - Ration Ticket Bag and Strike-A-Light
Bag; Round Floral Belt Buckle; Knife Sheaths - Neck Knife Sheath, Large Old
Style Knife Sheath and Wrap Around Knife Sheath; and Beaded Belts -
Geometric Pattern Belt and Floral Pattern Belt. Beading techniques explained
and used in these projects include the Return Stitch, Lazy Stitch and Gourd
Stitch. Beaded edgings described are Oblique, Loop, Lazy Stitch and Gourd
Stitch. Each step is fully explained with clear, easy to follow
instructions. The entire book is fully illustrated (over 200 drawings!) and
photos of each project are provided in color and black and white. Projects
are made from leather or fabric and decorated with seed beads. The
introductory section provides a fine explanation of materials, beading
techniques and construction stitches. Everyone who enjoys creating and
wearing beautiful craftwork will want a copy of this book!
