This week, I'd like to give you a chance to win a brand new copy of 'Creative Native American Beading' by Theresa Flores Geary, Ph.D. (courtesy of Lark Books). This is my new favourite book because it teaches many different techniques found in Native American beading in both a traditional & contemporary sense!
You will learn how to create bead-embroidered mandalas, peyote-stitched earrings, freeform peyote bracelets,
beaded flowers, medicine bags, beaded lighter cases, necklaces, dream-catchers, and beaded geckos (just to name a few)!
This is a beautiful softcover book with easy to understand instructions, vibrant photos, and useful patterns which you could also adapt to your own projects! Perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the Native American culture and the fine craft of beadwork. Keep it for yourself or give as a holiday gift! :)
