A new, larger format edition of the classic Royal School of Needlework's
essential guide to beadwork.
The Royal School of Needlework (RSN) teaches hand embroidery to the
highest standard and is well respected all over the world. It not only
upholds the traditions of English embroidery that go back many hundreds
of years, but is constantly taking embroidery forwards in new and
innovative ways. This series of Essential Stitch Guides has been
produced in close collaboration with the RSN with the aim of providing a
set of definitive works on traditional embroidery techniques. All of the
authors were chosen by the RSN and all are graduate apprentices of the
Royal School.
Shelley Cox presents an expert guide to all aspects of bead embroidery,
including information on counted thread beadwork, bead embroidery,
beaded surface embroidery, and fringing. Here you will find stitches and
technique for every sort of needlework that involves beads. Decorative
effects are explored too, making this a fantastic source book and an
invaluable reference for beadwork.
