Product Description
“[A] sumptuous book of canvas beadwork... Challenging projects for pillows, purses, and wall hangings are real standouts.”—Bead & Button
The technique of stitching beads onto canvas, so popular during the Victorian era, is undergoing a revival today, and these 25 projects have a wonderfully rich and lustrous look. With the same familiar sewing methods and fabric backing used in regular needlepoint, embroiderers can create a new world of bright colors and shimmering textures. Simple needleworking charts get you started on any of the original and versatile designs: there’s the coolly glowing Blue Moon Mirror, a bright springlike Bird with Berries Ornament, a patriotic Flag Heart Pin, an opalescent Pearl Plant Picture, an exotic Persian Rug Purse, and 20 others.

Great canvas beading book.... April 6, 2008
A very well presented and colorful book. Good info on all types of beads. Many pattern suggestions. Info on all tools you will need, and types of beads to use for any project. If you want to bead your needlepoint canvases this is the book for you. Do not waste your money on other books like I did. If I had bought this book first, I would have stopped here.

I checked this book out at the library and was so impressed I decided to buy one. The book has a very informative section on beads to use and how to do the actual process. There are several projects that seem easily doable for a beginner as well as projects for intermediate and advanced needlepointers. It is an all around good book that will get you started in the technique and inspire you to try regular needlepoint projects using this new technique.

A nice range of wonderfully colorful projects. The charts are large full-to several page charts.
The first 24 pages are dedicated to information about beadpoint, the size, color and shapes of beads, calculating how many you need, preparing the canvas, thread, etc.
