Purchase options and add-ons

There is no other book on the market that presents broadcollar projects for beaders-a traditional form. Julia S. Pretl, author of Little Bead Boxes and Bead Knitted Bags, has created a collection of beaded neckpieces, inspired by broadcollars, the dramatic jewelry worn by the ancient Egyptians and a well-known form among beadworkers. She has adapted the traditional form-a broad, beaded necklace-to create ten original designs for the modern beadworker, with skill levels ranging from beginner to more advanced. With step-by-step illustrations and easy-to-follow patterns, Julia leads the reader through the techniques for creating the stitched "ladderö -the basic unit that is combined and joined in various ways to create each of the unique designs. She also teaches readers how to build a custom-sized template, choose a color palette, and create decorative fringe, layers, pendants, and netting to add the finishing touch. The introductory chapters present the basic beading and assembly techniques, illustrated with clear, digitally rendered, and color-coded drawings. Four-color photographs of each of the 10 designs and 10 detail photos illustrate each project.

Review

Pretl, Julia S. Beaded Collars: 10 Decorative Neckpieces Built with Ladder Stitch. Creative Pub: Quayside. 2008. c.112p. illus. index. ISBN 978-1-58923-381-2. pap. $21.95. CRAFTS
Ancient Egyptian broadcollars worn by King Tut and others of high rank inspired Pretl's (Bead Knitted Bags) original beaded collars. Even experienced beaders will find these complex projects a challenge, but the results are stunning. Mounted on a template for working, each collar is built out from the center in a series of steps. Public libraries looking for something different in their beading collections will appreciate this book. -- Library Journal, Oct 15, 2008

I was very happy to see a box in the mail and find that it was Beaded Collars: 10 Decorative Neckpieces come in a day earlier than expected. The book was brand new and in excellent condition! There is a little confusion, the directions don't seem to match the picture directions, I'm sure once I get started it will be clear! Thank You!!

As I looked through this book at each beautiful collar, they made me think of a pretty little white bead collar of my Mother's, from the 1950's. It was in two pieces, which I tried to repair, but it just didnt look the same. Now I can make her a beautiful new one.

This book as lots of great ideas for collar patterns that look really complicated, but aren't. I'm a beginner, so it's important that the directions be easy to follow and they are.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
I bought this book a little while ago and I was not disappointed. The designs are beautifull and very inspiraring. The pictures are very clear for you to see. The beads needed to make the desgins also very clear. I find it very usefull if you already have experience with certain types of bead stitching, but their examples are not too hard to follow. The picture examples makes it even easier. This is a book if you want to create something very different and unusal. A definate must buy.

表紙の写真のようなデザインがほとんどです。
そのために☆4つにしましたが、☆5つに限りなく近い4つです。

スキルとしては、ネッティングとラダーステッチが主流です。
写真とイラストで、かなり丁寧に説明されていますから、英語が苦手でも心配ないとおもいました。（すこしは辞書がいりましたが＾＾；）
エレガントではなく、インディアンとかエジプトなどのエキゾチックなものが多いです。
竹ビーズをふんだんにつかっていますが、その点が一番の驚きでした。距離をうめるために使用する事の多い竹ビーズでしたが、面と距離と、両方につかうとこうなる！みたいな作品例がたくさんあり、素材を見直すいいきっかけになりました。
