Creative Native American Beading features colorful artistic themes inspired by nature which have cultural meaning to the native peoples of North America. Author Theresa Flores Geary shows how to create a variety of beautiful, traditional beaded projects using contemporary tools and materials. In earlier times, for example, Native beaders often worked on leather. Although leather is a supple material, it's not comparable to synthetics such as Ultrasuede®, through which a needle glides smoothly.
Creative Native American Beading gives you a quick course in reading beading patterns, familiarizes you with the basic stitches, and provides some design tips. It then presents a assortment of nineteen useful and decorative projects ranging in skill levels from beginner to advanced for you to complete or use as a starting point for your own designs.
The illustrated projects include Rock-Art Pottery, Badge-Holder Necklace, White Buffalo Calf Earrings, Sun-Rosette Medallion, Zuni Triple-Strand Bracelet, Horsehair Hatband, Coyote Pottery Earrings, Free-Form Peyote Bracelet, Blue Violet flower, Rope Eyeglass Holder, Thunderbird Lighter Case, Waterbird Tobacco or Medicine Bag, Huichol-Lace Sun Catcher, Ladder-Chain Bracelet, Dream-Catcher Ornament, Southwest Gecko Pin, Sage Bear Sachet, Native American Maiden, and Blue Kokopelli Amulet Bag. Addendums include Bag Patterns, Beadwork Glossary and Index.
