I've never seen a Jeanette Cook book I didn't like, but this has to be one of the best. The book starts with an introductory section of techniques, which are very clear with lots of helpful pictures that can be referred to whenever you're confused. Then there are a few project designed to show you the types of things you can do with peyote stitch. This is not a book to get just for the projects. They're really there just to get you to the point of designing your own things. It worked for me. Halfway through the amulet bag, it all gelled for me and I was able to make one of my own design for a friend. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Here is everything the beader needs to know about using peyote stitch to create both flat and three-dimensional pieces. Thread, beads, graphing techniques, and five projects are thoroughly explained, and a brief history, with photographs, describes the differences between today's stitch and the Native American original. The highlight of the book is a full-color photo gallery of peyote-stitched beadwork by the authors and 20 other nationally known artists, sure to inspire both the beginning and the veteran beadworker.
