American Indian Beadwork (Beadwork Books)

by W. Ben Hunt

The last 14 pages of this 63-page book are color plates of designs. The 14 pages preceding those are b & w pictures of beaded items collected by and apparently made by the authors. The first few pages of the book contain excellent diagrams and b & w photos showing exactly how to make the various items. This includes making and using looms and displaying how to transfer patterns onto buckskin or fabric, how to stretch the base material and to applique the rosettes onto the base material.
