Stitch Workshop Right Angle Weave

Right-Angle Weave follows Peyote Stitch as the second title in the Stitch Workshop series. In Right-Angle Weave, readers will find over 25 Bead&Button projects using this stitch characterized by repeating small squares. Along with detailed step-by-step directions, the basics section in this book is expanded to give readers a more thorough understanding of the stitch, including background and history. Readers also see that right-angle weave can take on different looks depending on bead size. With small beads, the stitch looks like fabric. With larger beads, the look becomes more geometric. This of course makes the stitch incredibly versatile.

Beader's Guide: Right Angle Weave is a handbook style collection of 25 projects and techniques all focused around right-angle weave. Similar to a previous stitch workshop book, it begins with a guide to the stitch itself. It then continues to the specific project which will contain more detailed illustrations, patterns and instructions for making various types of right-angle weaves, including the cubic right-angle weave (which was not thoroughly covered in the previous stitch workshop books). Take full advantage of all the valuable information regarding the best tools to use, which beads are ideal, and the various color combinations you can use for right-angle weaves. What makes the right-angle and cubic right-angle weaves a consistently popular stitch for many beaders is its wildly versatile and dimensional nature. It is sure to keep everyone, from advanced beginners to more intermediate bead stitchers engaged and busy, making it a great value.

The right angle weave stitch is demystified in this beading handbook. After mastering the basics, crafters can create their own beautiful jewelry with 30 projects that include a trendsetting garnet and carnelian necklace, a bead lace jabot, and a sapphire crystal bracelet.

Simple pieces for children or beginning beaders are followed by more complex projects that will challenge advanced beaders with three-dimensional explorations of cubes, frames, tablets, and boxes. Each of the projects can be modified and personalized in dozens of ways, allowing beaders to design their own inspiring creations.
