Not Your Mama's Beading: The Cool and Creative Way to String 'Em Along

"

A totally different read on trendy beads!

Beads are a dynamite fashion trend that has spawned more than 15 television shows. Not Your Mama’s Beading quickly covers the basics and then ventures boldly where no beading book has gone before. Cool, hip, and cheeky, it includes a variety of projects for creating jewelry, home décor items, accessories, and more. Beaders learn to whip up a tiara and add pizzazz to cell phone straps, key rings, and headbands. From cuffs to watches to wine stem markers to toe rings, these projects are so much fun that one bling thing leads to another!

Kate Shoup Welsh (Indianapolis, IN) has written or cowritten several books, including The Agassi Story (1-55022-656-8) and Webster’s New World English Grammar Handbook (0-7645-6488-9). She also cowrote and starred in a feature-length independent film. In her free time, Kate can be found hustling unsuspecting 9-ball players to pay for her bead habit. "

The Cool and Creative Way to String 'Em Along

Chapter One

Beads in Our Time

Given the early hominid's love affair with the bead, you might reasonably conclude that my beading instincts-the ones that provoked me to buy a bundle of fabulous Swarovski crystals in lieu of making my credit card payment-are the result of 40 millennia of evolution, as much a product of my DNA as my hair color (before it was highlighted, that is). Whether this is in fact true remains to be seen, but it certainly sounds adequately scientific to hold water in the event my spouse questions my "excessive" beading-related purchases. In case you find yourself being cross-examined about your beading, this chapter contains enough historical information to snow any jury.
