Beadwork Techniques of the Native Americans is a 'must' for any
jewelry-making, beadwork or Native American crafts library. It
explains tricks the author's learned from his extensive experience as
a bead worker, includes techniques not to be found in competing
beadwork titles, and offers step-by-step color photos tying the
information together. The result is a fine survey packed with a range
of beadwork styles, from stitching and loom work to applique.
