Beader Late Than Never
Now With More Findings!
By popular demand (?!) this expanded and updated version of the beloved (?!!) original book returns for a whole new audience to enjoy. Hopefully.
Vanishing Pearl has twenty years of beading specific experience, beginning
her foray into the artform at the young, young age of thirteen. Her creative
motivations are a secret, but only because it’s hard to pick ‘em out of all
the random ideas floating around in her noggin. The RNG gods have a
heyday mashing stuff together up in there.
Her experimental streak encourages plumbing the depths of creative rabbit
holes like using found objects (picked up off the ground usually), climbing
the peaks and valleys of geometric forms, and y’know, visual gags and
puns.
“If you don’t walk away laughing AT my work, then I’ve done my job wrong.”
Ixo has zero years of beading specific experience, and it’s painfully obvious.
He’s picking up things by osmosis as he goes though, and is pretty sure that:
• Right angle weave is something your hair dresser puts in.
• Bugle beads make excellent additions to jazz combos.
• Herringbone is what you get after you’ve eaten all the herring.
This book is the result of many years of highly astute study into the art, to
show what he’s learned.
“Yeah, what she said.”
