Kurzbeschreibung
This is the newest installment in the top-selling "Beadweaving Master Class" series features jewellery superstar Rachel Nelson-Smith. Nelson-Smith approaches beading like a jazz musician approaches a song; she improvises freely and creatively, playing unexpected variations on basic themes. Here, she reveals her signature techniques for combining right-angle weave, tubular peyote stitch and exquisite embellishments. Rachel's beautiful jazz-inspired pieces for intermediate beaders range from the Rondo necklace with repeated patterns to the Five Piece Band stackable ring. "Riff It" sidebars offer suggestions for personalising each design.

Dieses Buch ist der Hit. Ich habe schon sehr viele Perlenbücher gesehen, aber was mir an diesem ganz besonders gefällt, ist, dass es ein richtiges Gesamtkunstwerk ist. Es stimmt einfach alles, die Aufmachung, das Layout, die grafisch sehr gut aufgebauten und fotografisch unterstützten Anleitungen, die Farben. Besonders pfiffig, wie die Autorin ihre Liebe zum Jazz und zu den Perlen auf besondere Weise verbindet und zeigt, wie sie die Improvisationen aus der Jazzwelt in die Perlenkunst übersetzt. Die Stücke sind ja immer Geschmacksache, aber ich finde sie fast alle ganz wunderbar - kein Perlenkitsch, sondern peppige und jazzige und dennoch sowohl alltagstaugliche, als auch "abendgarderobentaugliche" Projekte, die allesamt phantasievolle Namen tragen und kleine Geschichten haben. Sehr beeindruckend auch das ausgezeichnete Farbgefühl der Autorin. Prima, dass die Stücke in vier verschiedenen Farbvariationen gezeigt werden; diese vier grundlegende Farbvariationen stellt die Autorin am Anfang auf einer Übersichtsseite vor, alle fein aufeinander abgestimmt - auch das eine tolle Idee.
Anfänger sollte man wohl nicht mehr sein, aber als fortgeschrittener Anfänger komme ich gut klar.

Bead Riffs Beautifully Done
25. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Rachel's Bead Riffs presents 23 beautiful projects combining Right Angle Weave and Peyote stitching in well thought out designs. There are many exquisite projects to choose from and Rachel gives us three examples of color use for each of the projects. Rondo is a stunning choker, and Night in Tunisia is a personal favorite.The Nightingale earrings made of 2mm Swarovski Elements are and excellent use of sparkle and the Dolled Up Bracelet uses Rose Montees cleverly sewn at the ends of peyote tubes. In Billie's Bounce Rachel uses the thread as part of the design element for an interesting effect. Cocktails for Two is an other personal favorite. The illustrations are well done and their is much here to increase your techniques and provide you with beautiful jewelry.

Find your groove with Bead Riffs
28. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Rachel Nelson-Smith's Bead Riffs has something for everyone. A Jazz theme runs through the book inviting you to sit and absorb it for a while. I have browsed through it a few times now and every time I find something else I want to try. Bead sellers should see a spike in sales after people purchase this book.
Rachel has a sense of color that is matched by very few. She has included five color ways to help beaders in their color choices for their own projects. What a nice touch. They are named Nature Girl, High Times, Stagelight (a favorite), Softly (another favorite) and Blue in Green. The instructions are well written and illustrated. Most of the beads she uses are easily obtained and may already be in the beader's stash.
Projects run from the simple to the extravagant. Among the more simple pieces are Billie's Bounce (which uses contrasting thread and embellished wheels), Fly Me To The Moon (I love the Stagelight color way version of this) and High Style (I see so many possibilities for this one). The more extravagant pieces include Dolled Up (one of my favorites) and Jazz (a scrumptious statement piece). Other favorites of mine are Phraseology (great contrast, texture and color play in this one), Birth Of The Cool (very wearable, lots of color and texture) and Cocktails For Two (I see so many options for making this).
I highly recommend Bead Riffs and think you will enjoy it, too.

Jazz and beads combine to make some wonderful pieces
8. September 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Rachel Nelson-Smith has been beading for a very long time, she also sings jazz. This book is jewelry inspired by her love for jazz music.
After you read the introduction, there is a 20 page set up section which explains the tools and supplies as well as being a primer in the techniques used in the jewelry. One of my favorite parts of the set up is a photo of the color palettes she works in. The instructions are clear with diagrams as well as photos that use contrasting color beads to show how things are joined together.
Most of the jewelry in the book is built from a single needle right angle weave base. It creates the frame work for embellishment which is done in netting and peyote.
The projects are separated by type rather than by technique. So the first project chapter is Necklaces. The ornate layered collar "Jazz" is a project easy to get enthused about because the embellishment has so much room for personal expression. My favorite is "Fly Me To the Moon" with it's beaded donut.
Rings and Earrings puts on the glitz and sparkle with dimensional encrusted pieces that make use of rose montees and other kinds of sparkly. The Billie ring, named for Billie Holiday would make an amazing cocktail ring.
Bracelets are my favorite kind of beading, and the Bracelets chapter is my favorite. Dramatic cuffs and lots of sparkle. My favorite bracelet is the "Something Cool" with rivolis, drops and size 15 beads.
Recommend for advanced beginners and intermediate beaders who really love sparkle and glam. This book is full of that sort of beadwork. Drama rather than delicate, it's statement jewelry that is still very wearable. It is part of Lark's Beadweaving Master Class line.
At the end is a gallery of jewelry by various artists that's just fantastic. It uses the same stitches and some of the same techniques as the jewelry in the book, the gallery pieces are art and inspiring. The author picked them well.
It's a lovely book with well written instructions and wonderful pieces. I recommend putting on some Sarah Vaughan or Miles Davis while you're deciding which piece to make first.
