This book with its overwhelming array of patterns is a bead weaver’s delight. I just purchased a Mirrix Tapestry Loom and can’t wait to warp it and incorporate some of these designs into my woven beaded structures.
It is very interesting how the author completely changes the appearance of many of the pieces. She has a wonderful eye for design and modifies many of her patterns with the introduction of new colors and hues.
She utilizes Miyuki delica cylinder beads in all of her woven structures. These beads are readily available in a wide range of colors which can be purchased in either bags or tubes. Fil One-G-0.25 mm. beige nylon beading thread is recommended. But, I have used Fireline 6lb S-Lon,C-Lon, Nymo B thread.
Enjoy! This is an exciting book for every bead weaver to explore. By the way, keep on beading and you can complete more than a bracelet with this wonderful compilation of patterns.
