Creative Bead Weaving by Carol Wilcox Wells

This is another great book for learning beadweaving. The book begins with the obligatory 'materials' section to give the newcomer to beadweaving a chance to read up on the equipment required.

The following chapters are arranged by stitch (Peyote Stitch, Brick Stitch, Square Stitch, Right-Angle Weave, and African Helix, Netting and Chevron Chain) and consist of clear step-by-step instructions on how to form the different variations of the stitch and and projects, consisting of good-sized photos of the finished product, charts and diagrams, list of required materials and clear instructions.

The projects consist of a wide range of items including jewellery, amulet bags and ornaments, so you are sure to find something that takes your fancy.

What really makes this book stand out are the inspirational photos of various artists' work. The featured pieces are truly amazing, showing the unique work that accomplished beadworkers can achieve. They certainly inspire me to work on my technique!
