beads, color inspiration and the actual jewelry are all luscious.

Your new book arrived yesterday, and I
think it's fabulous! The pictures
are beautiful and clear, and I think it's really going to help in my
explorations of freeform work. I've been experimenting with adding
beads to your bead soups and I'm looking forward to starting one from
scratch! PA
Here is a sneak peek inside!
In the first part of the book, I share insights and techniques in
working with color to help you gain color confidence. There is even a
package at the back with 2 color wheels and 6 templates to help you
enhance your color palettes! Follow along with me as I go from
inspiration to color wheel relationship to creating bead soups with
depth and movement.
The 2nd part of the book launches into freeform beadweaving, with 18 step-by-step projects sectioned into techniques that build on each
other. By the end I hope you will feel like throwing out all of the
rules and designing your own freeform works of art!
Working with color is exhilarating! And what better way to play with color than in making bead soups and incorporating them in freeform beadweaving projects? Just as a painter mixes different pigments on her palette, you will learn how to make bead soups with depth and movement. I will show you how I go from color inspirations to defining the color relationship using the color wheels and templates included in the back of the book, to creating a palette of beads. The numerous freeform projects in BEADED COLORWAYS will give you countless ways to use these beautiful mixes including color flow techniques that will show you how to seamlessly blend from one color to the next.
Come join me on my journey from inspiration... to color relationship... to bead soup palette... to freeform expression in beads!
