There are a couple I don't have and will need to add to my collection soon!<br /><br />While my book, Finishing Techniques for Bead Embroidery, is not available on-line, three of my other bead embroidery books are:<br /><br />Beaded Embellishment<br />Heart to Hands Bead Embroidery<br />The Complete Photo Guide to Beading<br /><br />These are available on Amazon and a few other sites as well. They all have ISBN numbers.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-24728885693080486582012-06-26T13:31:43.489+02:002012-06-26T13:31:43.489+02:00Thank you both for your great comments!

Hard because I want them all, but reality doesn't work that way. We can never get all we want and get it when we want it (oh, imagine being able to buy all the books you want just like that!).Manekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362626785474144154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-39286635949414258042012-06-24T03:36:55.484+02:002012-06-24T03:36:55.484+02:00Thanks for the mention!

This is a great list of books you've put together -- I see several, including the French one, that I want to add to my list. <br /><br />I have Dimensional Bead Embroidery, and it's one of my favorites -- I could look at it every day and not get tired of it! There's just so much to learn. I also have read, but do not yet own, Sherri Serafini's Sensational Bead Embroidery. It's a gorgeous book full of beautiful designs and clear instructions. I've met Sherry in person, and she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. :)Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-21773716619515218052012-06-24T02:29:09.192+02:002012-06-24T02:29:09.192+02:00Stanley Levy's Bead&Sequin Embroidery Stit...Stanley Levy's Bead&Sequin Embroidery Stitches keeps the title's promise to teach us the stitches needed in bead and sequin embroidery. And there is more: how to choose beads and sequins for different lavish effects like shading, sparkle and subtle shine.There are diagrams and photos that explain the stitches and how to create various visual effects. The correct placement of the sequins is crucial and it is better to learn it from a master instead of trial and error. My only complaint is that the beautiful designs featured in life size diagrams are rather large. It's not a big deal: the author recommends us to create our own designs. Some sequins could easily be added as highlights to a beaded embroidery design. Or we could use Mr Levy's glamorous designs in some gorgeous accessories.MilkaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-46721984011119263952012-06-24T00:04:16.196+02:002012-06-24T00:04:16.196+02:00Hi!

Some tips on books you might enjoy: First of all, Jamie Cloud Eakin's Dimensional Bead Embroidery is one of the real must haves even to a seasoned bead embroiderer. The instructions are superb and there are many useful tips too. I've found some wonderful projects to try despite the fact that I'm usually not so fond of her style. The gallery of other artists's work is really inspiring too. A good complement to her book Beading with Cabochons. It is a comprehensive guide making bead embroidered jewellery.I also love Sherry Serafini's Sensational Bead Embroidery.It's one of the Beadweaving MasterClass books from Lark Crafts. I've got them all. I've modified some of Serafini's designs to suit my petite frame and am very pleased with them. I think you'll just love the book in A-Z series. The designs are romantic and there are lots of flowers among them.Of course we need to learn how to embellish our clothes etc. with beads and sequins. Levy's book is a handy guide to this kind of embroidery. I'm very pleased with King's book as well as Kummli and Serafini's mentioned in your post. As you love embroidery,flowers and plants and are planning to start stumpwork, I'd recommend you to take a look at my absolute favourites in stumpwork: Jane Nicholas is a master embroider whose The Complete Book of Stumpwork Embroidery and Stumpwork:Medieval Flora are something really special. But only if you love illuminated manuscripts and the like. I think there is no way for stumpwork to get more beautiful. These books are rather expensive but worth the money. I tried to write about all the bead embroidery books I have. I hope I got the titles right. Thank you for sharing your wish list. There are some interesting books there...Is it possible to have too many books on this or any other beading subject? Milka PS Unfortunately it was not possible to make corrections to this text. I hope it is readable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
