Beadwork Techniques of the Native Americans

This book is in a class by itself. The author not only covers the rudiments of bead work, but also reveals the techniques he has learned from his extensive experience as a bead worker. This volume covers bead work found among the western Plains Indians, both past and present, and includes step-by-step color photographs and illustrations for each project.

Features dozens of full-color photos of first-rate Indian and non-Indian made beadwork from museums, private collections, and today's marketplace. This book is an artful contribution to the craft of bead working.
