French-Beaded Flowers

Author Dalene Kelly expertly guides readers through this beautifully illustrated guide to the timeless art of French-beading--a craft that dates its origins back several hundred years and that now is making a huge resurgence. Includes step-by-step instructions for making 38 different flowers, such as snapdragons, coral beans, pansies, irises, tiger lilies, gardenias, and more. Crafters will quickly learn the techniques for stringing beads and fashioning them into floral works of art and then create these four stunning projects--a cymbidium corsage, rose hair barrette, Shasta daisy napkin ring, and rose bud bridal veil. Crafters and beaders alike will find this book to be innovative and inspiring.
