Amulet Obsession: Picturesque Beaded Purse Patterns

by Barbara Elbe

Art, nature and tiny glass beads are woven together to create a wonderful mixture of beaded images in picturesque miniature purses. Each pattern is as detailed as a fine piece of art.Known for her love of birds, "Amulet Obsession" continues in the same tradition as "Back to Beadin" with six of the seventeen purses featuring birds.

One of the most striking is a beautiful peacock with it's long tail done in brilliant green twist fringe trimmed with crystal and gold filled beads.

Don't forget the detailed outdoor scenes, beautiful enough to hang on the wall but small enough to adorn an individual.
A total of 17 picturesque purse patterns.

Ten designs are done in Horizontal tubular brick stitch. Two in flat vertical brick stitch. Square stitch is a new addition with five new patterns included.

Complete step-by-step instruction for all stitches; that includes instructions on how to do the different straps and fringe. Well illustrated throughout.
