Suddenly, beads are everywhere, from the necks of celebrities to the wrists of schoolgirls to the fashion runways of New York-and the art of working with beads has risen proportionately. Herringbone stitch, a versatile South African off-loom bead technique, feels like snakeskin and has a visible chevron pattern. It's a favorite among beaders, and yet no other book devotes itself entirely to this method. With historical information, cultural background, techniques, projects and instructions, and a gallery of inspirational pieces, this is the foremost guide to a unique beading technique. The fifth book in the Beadwork How-To series.
