Knot one, bead two and what have you got? Bold jewelery made from an eclectic collection of beads – one-of-a-kind lamp work beads, silver ethnic beads, exotic stones – and a selection of luscious fibers. These 30 beautiful projects show what’s possible when a time-tested technique gets a fashionable update with contemporary materials and a modern aesthetic. The knots are simple and familiar to most crafters: basic overhand, square and hitches. Once that’s mastered the rest is easy. Create a spiraled necklace out of linen cord and a single stunning enamel and gold-leaf focus bead. Work silky ribbon yarn in an open net to make an elegant lariat beaded scarf. How-to illustrations, beauty shots and numerous construction tips help illuminate the process.
