Beadwork : Books : Thames & Hudson in this remarkable book, beadwork from all around the world is illustrated and its history revealed. beadwork. A World Guide Caroline Crabtree Pam Stallebrass. http://www.thamesandhudson.com/books/Beadwork/0500510806.mxs/22/0/
Extractions: From Athabaskan shot pouches to Xhosa neckpieces, from Greenland to Bali. . . in this remarkable book, beadwork from all around the world is illustrated and its history revealed. The worldwide transformation of beads into intricate articles and embellishments is turned into a coherent story for the first time. The result will inspire collectors and designers, and anyone interested in art, craft and fashion. After an introduction and an in-depth survey of bead manufacturing centres in Europe and Asia, the book is organized into five principal sections, with over 40 topics. Four main regional sections â on Africa; the Americas; Asia, Oceania and the Arabian Gulf; and Europe â outline the history and trade routes of beads in each area, with an accompanying map, before examining the beadwork in detail. A fifth section surveys construction and techniques, from brick stitch and herringbone weave to lazy stitch and three-dimensional structures.

Extractions: 2004! Where has the time gone... I suppose that I should be creative and come up with some incredibly imaginative reason as to why I have been so neglect in keeping my website up-to-date. Maybe if I used the excuse of having won a trip around the world and I have been so jet lagged that I just can't get out of bed as I am still on Monte Carlo time, would you believe it? No? Hmmmmm. How about the fact that I was chosen to participate in the newest Survivor series (which has yet to be aired) entitled Survivor: Tropical Isles where 16 beaders are stranded on a lush tropical island with coconut heishe and sea-washed sea shells and are forced to create beading thread out of strips of palm fronds and needles out of bone and must ndebele stitch an entire wardrobe in 3 weeks? Somehow, I didn't think that you would believe that one either. I guess that the truth will have to do. I will have to admit to you that 2003 has been an up and down year and many days have had a tendency to overwhelm me. But I'm still here, wherever "here" is. And soon "here" will be moving. Yes, I will be leaving Texas in the near future. I never really realized how difficult it is to move from one state to another. I have lived in Texas for almost 16 years, and I sincerely love this state. I feel like an adopted Texan and have made many life long friends here. And I do plan to return from time to time for a visit. As far as beading goes, I have managed to create some beadwork. And I have managed to photograph some of it. I just haven't found the time to actually work on the website. As I'm sure that beaders will understand, it is hard sometimes to take the time out from beading to work on the computer and put the stuff up. I mean, after all, you could spend a couple of days on the computer, or a couple of days beading. Which would you choose? I'm sure that you can guess what my choice was. Since I have not updated since last year, you can imagine that I have quite a few new things to add. But, I don't think that I will do it as one great big massive addition to the website, but rather several smaller installments along the way. So, if you are in the habit of checking back from time to time to see if there is anything new, please don't forget me. I'll try to give you a heads up on this page as to whether anything new has been added.

Native American Beadwork Information about traditional and contemporary Native American beadwork, with links to Indian beading artists from several different tribes. http://www.native-languages.org/beadwork.htm
Extractions: American Indian Languages American Indian Tribes What's new on our site today! Native American Beadwork leather (usually clothing, moccasins, or containers) and beaded strands (usually used for jewelry, but sometimes also as ornamental covering to wrap around a gourd or other ceremonial or art object) For beaded leather arts, Indian craftspeople sew each bead onto a leather backing (or cloth, today). A related craft, quillwork , involved softening and dying stiff porcupine quills and affixing them to leather, to birchbark, or to other crafts. Indian quillwork largely died out as an art form when seed beads became available to the northern and Plains tribes, but today some native artists are taking a renewed interest in quilling. As for beaded strands, Indian craftspeople stitch the beads together into strings or a mesh, using sinew, thread or wire. Beading strands and beading onto leather are both very complicated, time-consuming and delicate tasks which require many years of practice to do well. If you are looking to buy beaded art that was actually made by Native Americanseither because it's important to you to have the real thing or because you want to support native people with your purchasethen here is our list of American Indian artists whose beadwork is available online. Hopefully this can provide you with a good starting point. This list is by no means completeplease
