New Books to Inspire You

Beading Across America- This book features the works of many well-known artists including our very own Liz Thompson. Look for Liz's project (and a mention of Stony Creek bead) on page 53. See the sidebar for Liz's book signing information.

Peyote Stitch - Basic Techniques, Advanced Results. Beautiful projects using flat, circular, and tubular Peyote. This is a great companion to the Peyote Beaded Bead Book.

Endless Sparkle - Many of these projects use a lot of bicone crystals to make great designs.
