The five free bead weaving patterns in this new eBook take readers from the basics of a right angle weave, to variations in beading techniques involving a variety of beading materials. Each beading technique is clearly explained with step-by-step instructions and photos.
“One of the nice features of right-angle weave is that it's not fussy about the beads having to be all the same size,” says Christine Prussing, author of "Beading with Right-Angle Weave" (Interweave, 2004). Prussing is one of five top designers—joined by BeadingDaily.com Editor Leslie Rogalski, Gwen Fisher, Tina Koyama, and Shelley Nybakke—whose work is featured in this new eBook.
