Library Journal Review

These two books feature jewelry projects using traditional beading stitches. Right-angle weave designs are based on a series of squares, while peyote stitch can be used to form several geometric shapes. Both DeCoster and Fitzgerald (Zulu Inspired Beadwork) use these in projects for fine costume jewelry. DeCoster's include ropes and mesh pieces. Fitzgerald's have small elements linked together. Uniformly good design characterizes both books. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
