Beadwork Creates Earrings

This how-to guide is devoted entirely to making earrings from beads. Its projects range from straightforward drop designs built with sparkling vintage beads to bold 1970s-style fringe, loose freeform doodles, understated tassels, and delicate crosses worked in Russian techniques. Readers are introduced to a wide range of common beads and to several beading methods, including basic stringing, edging variations, netting, peyote stitch, right-angle weave, and wirework. Clear illustrations accompany the instructions. Beginners and more experienced beaders alike can use the book to make a mix of drop, hoop, and chandelier earrings quickly and without fuss.
