Beads to Buckskins

The one and only Beading series that takes you from a beginner to being a Pro in 12 Volumes

Just a little about Beads To Buckskins

The first Beads to Buckskins book was written and published in 1988 and each year following two volumes were written and published. Twelve volumes completes the series. Since then, there have been many reprints plus volumes one and three have been revised with new techniques and photos. The beading frenzy started shortly after volume one was released and just keeps exploding and expanding each day.

There are so many talented designers in beaded jewelry that every idea or imagined idea has been expanded on to incorporate more then just glass seed beads; We are using Simi precious stone beads with stone cabochon and sometimes incorporating precious stones with glass seed beads; there seems to be no limit to the wonderful ideas and accomplishments in designs.

Because of the title of this series some people think that the techniques pertain only to the Native American culture, however the contemporary, as well as Victorian and more modern techniques such as beading with crystals and minerals is well illustrated. Beading has become the universal connection of Jewelry Crafters all over the world. They share the same desires and creative ideas and have become a network of unseen friends and colleagues. I am pleased to say that the Beads to Buckskins Series covers all of the above and was one of the first to present these techniques to the public in a series that has been one of the hall marks of beading for twenty years and still going.
