Timeless Beadwork Designs

One of the foremost names in beadwork creates 15 gorgeous, all-new projects. Widely regarded as one of today's finest teachers of beading, Cynthia Rutledge reveals her creative process and presents stunning designs that explore colour, three-dimensional form and mixed media. Meant for intermediate-to-advanced-level headers, the pieces include a classic Renaissance Cameo Necklace, a pearl-and-glass Florentine Rosette Cuff and Hebe's Floral Earrings. Each project offers historical perspective on the design, including an inspirational painting, instructions and an explanation of the required techniques.
