Native American Beadwork Patterns (Paperback)

The patterns in this book are presented in the three formats most popular among beaders - colored freehand drawings; non-colored freehand drawings and patterns drawn on size 11 beading graph paper. The last two can be copied and colors filled in by the beader. The patterns can be used for embroidery and painted works. Designs include Sioux Star with a Bear Paw, Buffalo Spirit, several Geometrics, Four Feathers, Sunburst, various Butterflies, Medicine Buffalo, Flowers, Dove of Peace, Turtles, Feathers, Dragonflies, a Horse, a Fish and more. There are also templates for barrettes, bolos, hairties and more. There are 24 photos of beaded pieces that show different patterns and combinations, including Bear & Salmon, Medicine Wheels, Roses, and Geometrics. Most are detailed enough to show how the beads are sewn into the pattern. May your creative juices flow as you use this book! 48 pages in full color. 142 illustrations.
