Jill Wiseman's Beautiful Beaded Ropes - And a Signed Book Giveaway!
Beaded ropes are one of those jewelry items that I think inspire the most intrigue. When I see a truly fabulous one someone has made, I think to myself - is it solid, is it hollow? How did they get it so smooth? so curvy? If there is a focal knot, was it created during beading, or after? Jill Wiseman in her introduction to her new book, Jill Wiseman's Beautiful Beaded Ropes, approaches much the same issues from the polling she did from her beading classes. And she tackles each one beautifully.
Her latest book showcases gorgeous ropes and details 24 different rope jewelry projects using multiple stitches. It is not just necklaces; you'll find bracelets, bangles, earrings, lariats, and rings. If there is a jewelry piece, she does a rope for it.
The projects are separated by creation: Spiral Ropes; Peyote Ropes; Netted Ropes; Herringbone Ropes; RAW Ropes; and Other Stitches. This benefits you in two ways. The first way is you can start off making a rope jewelry project using a technique you are familiar with then working your way to a new one. Another way is each chapter has a certain look to it. The RAW ropes have a calming look to them while anything goes with the Peyote ropes.
And I have something to share, as well. I have a SIGNED COPY from the author to giveaway. Truly something special. Keep for your shelves or give as the perfect gift to a fellow beader. :) Enter below.
