The practice of embroidering with beads and sequins has long been used to add glamour and style to evening wear and accessories. Its exquisite, delicate nature means it is regularly found in couture fashions, but it can be equally effective when worked onto clothing, when used for decoration such as on cards, cushions and bags, or simply to create beautiful embroideries. In whatever context, this is a thoroughly rewarding craft that brings stunning results. In this book Stanley Levy encompasses his many years spent perfecting the art of bead and sequin embroidery and will appeal to anyone with an interest in this creative technique. Illustrated in full colour throughout with helpful diagrams and sumptuous photographs, the book progresses from the fundamentals -- such as right and wrong sides of sequins and basic stitches and their applications -- to more advanced techniques such as making fringes, tassels and motifs. To develop skills further, there is extensive guidance on designing, making and transferring patterns to fabric. A gallery of the author's and his students' own work provides an inspiring reference.
