Book Reviews of the Zulu Inspired Beadwork: Weaving Techniques and Projects
Customer Review: Finally, an instruction book for Zulu Techniques
Summary: 5 Stars
Zulu beadwork is characterized by opaque seed beeds in primary colors, often with a white background, and there are a multitude of stitches and designs. The beadwork is complex, modern yet folk-lore in tone.
The book has a set of photos of Zulu men and women wearing various traditional ornaments, and then there are many projects illustrating a large variety of stitch techniques.
One of the items I like is wrapped rope, tightly rolled cloth with beads that makes wonderful lariats or bangles. The Zulu girls' "love letters" are also wonderful--small stamp-sized beading with a number of patterns and techniques that sit on pins. You can adopt these to your craft desires--flags, flowers, mementos all hanging from safety pins. There are netting projects making dramatic collars, some with hanging pendants, others with fringe. All in all, a gorgeous book and long overdue to teach these exceptional beading techniques. Any beader would love this book.
