Beadflowers Beaded Necklaces Part 1: Over 50 Stunning Beading Tutorials for All Levels of Experience (Beadflowers Beading Patterns by Katie Dean)

Beadflowers Beaded Necklaces: Part 1, is the sixth book in the Beadflowers Beading Patterns series. It offers you more than 50 of the beaded necklace tutorials that I created over my career as a bead artist and shared through the Beadflowers website. Believe it or not, I published over 100 necklace tutorials, so this volume is part one of my collated collection.The projects in this book invite you to create with different beads. For some, you will be using just basic seed beads. Other designs use multi-holed or shaped seed beads, pearls, crystals, wooden beads and more. The projects range in difficulty from beginner to advanced and they use a wider range of different beading techniques. So, you can take your skills to new levels with this book.You might wish to supplement this book with the second volume in the series, which teaches you basic beading techniques. For the beginner projects in this volume, I have shared everything you need to know to complete your design. Projects for more experienced beaders assume that you already have basic technique skills. So, if you wish to learn or remind yourself of the basics, definitely grab a copy of volume two to use alongside this.The designs included in this volume represent just one half of the complete catalogue of necklace tutorials that I created. So, if you enjoy making necklaces, you will also want to get part two, which gives you another 50 necklace tutorials to enjoy. Whether you are creating something special to wear yourself, or something to gift to a friend, I invite you to explore and find your perfect design. There is nothing quite like a piece of hand-crafted jewellery: it may become a family heirloom to be treasured and enjoyed for generations.
