Beadpoint: Beautiful Bead Stitching on Canvas by Ann Benson
The first 24 pages are dedicated to information about beadpoint, the size, color and shapes of beads, calculating how many you need, preparing the canvas, thread, etc.
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.
