I love Melinda Barta, and the fact that lately she has been taking one stitch and breaking it down, simplifying and focusing on it, is a great idea. It is useful for all kinds of bead weavers, both new and experienced.
In this book, which is all about herringbone, the reader will get a great idea of why and how the stitch is created. As well, he or she will see successive additions to the basic flat band. You will get to learn how to make circular,tubular and spiral variations of herringbone.
Admittedly, the book is not pure, straight up herringbone. There are some stitches included with the herringbone. Among these are peyote, square stitch, brick stitch and RAW.
However, herringbone IS the star here ! When the title says: MASTERING HERRINGBONE STITCH: The Complete Guide, the author isn't kidding. "Complete" is the operative word here! Therefore, if you have any interest at all in herringbone (and it is one of the top fave stitches for seed beaders and weavers, so if you are reading this, you probably do), I can recommend this excellent instructional book to you completely and wholeheartedly. It is not only educational and helpful in the best sense, it is BEAUTIFUL!
Along with Ms. Barta's guidance and creative designs, you will also be getting a cadre of totally FAMOUS AND FANTASTIC beaders who are, as well, a part of thIs book. These seed beaders, all of whom are extremely great at what they do and how they go about doing it, agreed to participate in MASTERING HERRINGBONE STITCH by offering projects related to herringbone stitch, to be shown and taught in this book.
These marvelous teachers and designers are all "Beadwork Designers of the Year". This is a prestigious title and is one to be extremely proud of.
