Rachel Nelson-Smith's Bead Riffs: Jewelry Projects in Peyote & Right Angle Weave

Request this title!!!

The newest installment in the top-selling "Beadweaving Master Class" series features popular jewelry and beading superstar Rachel Nelson-Smith. Rachel approaches beading like a jazz musician approaches a song: she improvises freely and creatively, playing unexpected variations on basic themes. Here, Rachel reveals her techniques for combining right-angle weave, tubular peyote stitch, and exquisite embellishments. Rachel's beautiful jazz-inspired pieces for beaders range from the Rondo necklace with repeated patterns to the Five Piece Band stackable ring. There are 23 inventive and fun jewelry projects in the book. "Riff It" sidebars offer suggestions for personalizing each design. Rachel Nelson-Smith is a featured artist in the book "Masters: Beadweaving."
