Authentic American Indian Beadwork and How to Do It: With 50 Charts for Bead Weaving and 21 Full-Size Patterns for Applique by Pamela Stanley-Millner (1985, Paperback)

This book has some excellent photos of beadwork, but with only 48 pages it is rather limited. There are 3 pages with instruction, the rest are clear photos, patterns and drawings that are color keyed and copied from museum peices. Only 2 techniques are represented; loom weaving and applique. I would have liked to see more and different techniques, explanation of some symbols, and some troubleshooting tips, but this is a good basic book for beginners.

Good book. Has short, yet complete basic instructions for what you need to create basic Indian beadwork and a lot of patterns.

I had a copy of this book before.. I found the designs interesting, but complicated.. The designs were fairly large and more apt for intermediate or expert loomwork beaders.. you would need custom made looms to make most of these designs..
