Description
Anyone who enjoys making and wearing their own beautiful jewelry will not want to miss this new twist on beaded jewelry. Cabochons are round or oval pieces of precious or semi-precious stone (or acrylic) which are domed on top and flat on the back. When surrounded by glass beads, stone beads and other natural materials, they make gorgeous pieces of jewelry that everyone will want to create and own.
First time author Patti Lyman presents step-by-step instructions on making cabochon earrings, necklaces, barrettes, brooches and bolos. This very versatile book also includes new and traditional Brick Stitch designs, Peyote Stitch instructions which one reader described as “the only ones she had actually been able to follow without seeing it done”, Beaded Crystal Caps and an Applique Design for a Rosebud Barrette or Brooch. Color schemes are suggested for each item, along with alternatives, but readers are encouraged to be creative with their own color schemes and designs.
