With interest in beadweaving on the rise, Mastering Peyote Stitch provides a much-needed look into the most integral technique--peyote stitch. With 15 styles in all, beading geniuses will finally have an accessible, easy-to-understand guide to one of the fundamentals of beadweaving, brought to you courtesy of Beadwork Editor Melinda Barta.

In the "Peyote Basics" chapter, you will learn the basics of creating flat peyote bands, then advance to circular and tubular variations, eventually learning to fashion dimensional jewelry pieces. Once you've mastered the basics, Melinda dives into designing dimensional jewelry pieces. Additional chapters cover combining peyote with other popular beadweaving techniques (right-angle weave, herringbone, and bead embroidery) and creating unique edgings and embellishments for finished pieces. Melinda, together with Beadwork's Designers of the Year, including Jean Campbell, Lisa Kan, Carole Ohl, Melanie Potter, Jean Power, Cynthia Rutledge, and Sherry Serafini, demonstrates a range of styles in 15 beautiful jewelry projects.

I'm a longtime fan of M. Barta. Most of the projects in this book are hers, but Jean Campbell, Lisa Kan, Carole Ohl, Melanie Potter, Jean Power & Sherry Serafini each contributed a project, too.
And they are lovely.....
Seed beads are my very favorite types of beads, but I love all the various stitches equally. These are all peyote. She writes a good "Basics" section. This is an ambitious book for a beginner, but given time, patience and a desire to succeed, all will be doable
I have been beading for about 8 years.
Ms. Barta also includes a section on finishing touches, something I haven't seen in a book before. But, maybe I missed it in other books. Also there is a "Project Resources" section, something I always appreciate.
The illustrations are clearly labeled, and the written directions seem straightforward to me. There is a detailed materials list at the start of each project.
It's would be up to the individual to decide if he/she wanted it, but I like to see these projects rated. Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. That has not been done here. I think experienced beaders can figure out if a projects is going to take a lot of time versus not so much, but a beader with little experience just might find him/herself in over her head.
But there's no doubt that these projects are simply gorgeous! I look forward to starting any number of them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Projects!
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012

I love to bead and peyote is my favorite beading stitch. This book contains 15 projects and I actually like most of them.
The book contains 2 projects made with flat peyote stitch, 3 projects with circular peyote stitch, and 3 projects using tubular peyote. Then there are 5 projects called "peyote stitch extras" which incorporate other techniques like freeform and sculptural and other stitches like herringbone, right angle weave and netting.
The final 2 projects are categorized as "finishing touches", teaching various types of fringe, picot edging, bezels and others.

The photography is in full-color and is of great quailty. The diagrams are really clear and, at a glance, you can see how the pattern progresses. No matter how well-written beading instructions are, it is alwasys easy to get confused and lose track of where you are. That is why good diagrams are so important and this book has that.

The author also included a resource section in back which is nice to have.

Overall, this is a great book and I would recommend it to both beginners and advanced beaders.

Be sure to check out the "Look Inside" feature above so you can see for yourself the quality of the diagrams and you will also be able to see what some of the projects look like.

Once again, Interweave has delivered a book with great instructions and photos of projects the give any beader peyote projects to enhance their knowledge of the stitch. However, I find myself thinking that I'd rather have a couple more projects and just forego the repetitive, BASIC info contained in the first 24 pages.

Yvonne. There wasn’t a charger (5 Volt) included with this unit, so I am not able to use it until I can find a charger. Considering sending it back.

When a wonderful local bead store moved and then closed entirely, I moved on from my love of peyote beading. Kumihimo revived the interest in beading and then Amazon let me know about this book. It has to be the best and most unusual book on Peyote beading in my rather extensive library. I just can't wait to try the next thing. My circular beaded bracelets have been getting lots of attention and directions are so good!

3.0 out of 5 stars Very similar to Beadwork magazine
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2014
Verified Purchase
The author is also the editor of Beadwork magazine which has become in the last few years much more advanced. This book is the same. It is not for beginners. The illustrations have the same defects as in the magazine as they are not clear. Each pattern has many materials and some are going to be hard to find. There are 2 projects for flat peyote but after that the projects call for more advanced techniques including herringbone, RAW, square stitch, etc. There are 6 guest contributors but most of the patterns are from Barta. Definitely look before you buy this one.
