500 Bead Weaving Patterns for Bracelets

Lots of patterns. Sure some are repeat with different colors, but that puts a whole different perspective on it. Lots of great ideas to use for weaving or pictures in fringe.

I have been heading since 1969. I love this book and here is why. Firstly, I am a loom beader. This is a book of loom patterns. Yes, there are repeat patterns in different colors, but as any experienced bearer knows, sometimes one particular change of color can inspire a different pattern of your own to be created. The different colors give one a perspective of what can be done . I have been able to totally come up with a different look with the same pattern but by using, say, neon beads or lusters, than opaques or the colors called for. Not only that, but bits can be taken from one pattern and joined with others to create something completely new and exciting. I didn’t find the patterns antiquated or simplistic as one beader reviewed. I sell at concerts and on line and find that a lot of these patterns are exactly what people are looking for, especially the hippie/bohemian crowd. I am very pleased and intend on using this as an inspiration tool for years to come.

Lovely picture book, filled with the kind of pretty things that make your spirit sing when you see them. The author creates one design, then shows it also made up in various other colors and. It is amazing how different two bracelets can look simply by changing the colors. Extremely well done, although 500 is a wee bit of a stretch. It is more like 125 - 150 designs, each done about 4 different colored. Still, it is a remarkable resource and helps open up the "I wonder how this would look if I used ivory and lavender instead of her colors?". We need that kind of willingness to explore color. It is an excellent book and a worthy addition to any crafter's bookshelf. Colors, after all, can set gone and mood for bracelets and living room rugs and kitchen cabinets/backsplash. These example help train that sense of color.

Lots of patterns. Some redundancy same patterns different colors. Reference book

As expected.

I dont think I will be able to use this. It would be helpful if there were blown up diagrams to make the designs easier to follow. Also, without bead counts per color, its difficult to plan ahead. It seems like it would be easy to run out of beads mid project or have way too many.

While it is true there are not truly 500 different designs, there are plenty to work with and I like the way they did the same design in different colors combos to give you an idea how your color choices affect the design. This was exactly the kind of book I was looking for.

Was looking for a pattern, or design, book but none were what I wanted. This is PERFECT! all it is is page after page of patterns. No filler with stuff you don't need. Breaks it down nicely so it shows little lines every 10 rows so you can catch any mistakes you make along the way. Highly recommend this book!

Rivoglio i miei soldi indietro (ma ahimè era un kindle) Presa dall’entusiasmo dei braccialetti di perline realizzati col telaio, ho scaricato questo ebook che prometteva ben 500 schemi (o pattern) di bracciali. Innanzitutto in realtà non sono 500 ma al massimo 150: infatti il libro ripropone LO STESSO DISEGNO in 4-5 colori diversi. Ci arrivavo anche da sola che cambiando i colori il risultato era diverso.. Ma dei residui 150 originali la maggior parte sono schemi geometrici che poteva disegnare la nipotina di 8 anni (4 rombi affiancati; triangoli di colori alternati; strisce di colori diversi) e gli altri sono talmente grossolani che non si metterebbe nemmeno la suddetta nipotina di 8 anni. A esagerare se ne salveranno 5 o 6. Bell’acquisto.

Book is fab patterns and colour choices are good well worth the money
