Beads and their relationship to textiles are fully explored by word and drawing in this comprehensive and scholarly treatise. The rich background acknowledges the pre Ice Age evidence of bead embroidery and then explores the specific regional and period examples from East Africa to the elaborate raised Stuart beadwork of England and then to the height of commercial beading by hand and machine which popularised bead embellishments in the 19th century. Instructions are given for a variety of technqiues including needle and tambour beading, wire beading, crochet, knitted and tatted beading and even bead weaving on a loom. Specific projects cover trimmings, beaded bags, beaded flowers and bead furniture for a doll's house. Along with the history and technique the author offers a continuous stream of inspiration for design and creativity through her delightful line drawings which turn these tiny ubiquitious elements into the richest form of ornament.
