Summary:
“[A] sumptuous book of canvas beadwork... Challenging projects for
pillows, purses, and wall hangings are real standouts.”—Bead & Button
The technique of stitching beads onto canvas, so popular during the
Victorian era, is undergoing a revival today, and these 25 projects
have a wonderfully rich and lustrous look. With the same familiar
sewing methods and fabric backing used in regular needlepoint,
embroiderers can create a new world of bright colors and shimmering
textures. Simple needleworking charts get you started on any of the
original and versatile designs: there’s the coolly glowing Blue Moon
Mirror, a bright springlike Bird with Berries Ornament, a patriotic
Flag Heart Pin, an opalescent Pearl Plant Picture, an exotic Persian
Rug Purse, and 20 others.
