BEADREADER Part 3 (books/mags/videos FAQ)
Anita Li
This is Part 3 of the BEAD READER. This FAQ on books, magazines, videos and
craft books mail order sources related to beads is created and maintained
by Anita Li Reinehr for the newsgroup rec.crafts.beads. All prices quoted
are estimates in U.S. dollars. Actual price may vary. A lot of the
titles and information are obtained from ads & reviews in Ornament, Bead &
Button and Lapidary Journal and from catalogs. Please send all updates,
corrections and additions to 'a...@albemarle.aero.org'. Suggestions on
organization of the FAQ are also welcomed.
The FAQ is organized into the following sections:
1. BOOKS (PART 1 A-B, PART 2 C-K, PART 3 L-Z)
2. MAGAZINES (PART 4)
3. VIDEOS (PART 4)
4. BUSINESS (PART 4)
5. CRAFT BOOKS/VIDEOS MAIL ORDER CATALOGS (PART 4)
6. OTHERS (not directly on beads, but can be used as reference) (PART 5)
Currently, all listings in each section is done by alphabetical
order according to the title. If there are expressed desires to
have the BOOKS section broken into categories by subject, I need
input on subject headings. Also, to help make title search a
little easier in the book section, XXXXXX (where X is the alphabet)
is used to mark the beginning of a new alphabet.

"..transform simple loops, rings, and chains into beautiful bead lace.
Instructions and diagrams take [beader of any level] through the
basic techniques a bead at a time with plenty of helpful tips mixed in..."
--From News and Reviews column of Oct 1994 issue of Bead & Button.
According to the author:
Color pictures of 6 completed works. Complete instructions on how to
convert tatting instructions into picot lace beading instructions.
Finished beadwork looks essentially identical to tatted lace, but with
a much richer look.
ERRATA info from author: 1) On page 122, the fourth full paragraph, the
first parenthesis reads "(p on p3)." This should read "(p on bb3)."
2) On page 75, the spacer bead motif is numbered counterclockwise and
should be numbered clockwise. This will make #2, #4 and vice versa.
3) The index is 4 pages off. Add 4 to each number in the index.

Review: Carol Berry was interviewed in the last year for an article in Bead
and Button, and her work has also appeared in Ornament magazine. If you
ordered the catalog for the 1995 Embellishment conference, one of Carol's
beaded bags was on the front cover. This book grew out of Carol's popular
classes on beaded embroidery. It covers the basic materials and techniques
for beaded embroidery, and includes instructions for a sampler to explore the
different stitches as well as a pattern and full instructions for a small
beaded pouch. More importantly, this is a book on exploring yourself through
beaded embroidery. A quote from the book "I think that it"s possible that the
beadwork itself contains energy, since sewing the beads on takes
concentration and committment and time, and that we sense this energy in the
beadwork, and so a beaded object seems to have power within it. There's also
something about the pocket or pouch form itself. It is little and precious,
and displays beauty while keeping tis contents hidden and safe."
