Download or read book More 3-D Butterflies in Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root. This book was released on 2016-11-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten more butterfly patterns in free-form three dimensional peyote stitch are included in this book. These are original patterns not previously published in any other venue. The butterflies are designed to be three dimensional on the front and flat on the back so that they can be used in many applications. Use them in jewelry, as framed specimens, sew them on hats, jackets, handbags, or use as decorations for packages, flower pots, or anything else that needs a bit of butterfly whimsy. Patterns include Forest Pearl Charaxes, Western Blue Beauty, Angelwing, Charaxes Eurialus, White Peacock, Cattleheart, Cecropia Moth, Anise Swallowtail, Sunset Moth, and Violet Morpho. Wingspans range from 2.75" to 3.5" (70mm to 90mm). Patterns use from six to eleven colors (most are seven or eight colors) of size 11/0 Japanese cylinder beads. The body is made with 15/0 rocailles (round seed beads) but could also be made with 11/0 rocailles if you are not comfortable with the tiny beads. Patterns can be made with traditional odd-count peyote stitch, or if you prefer, use two-needle odd-count peyote stitch or brick stitch (brick stitch instructions are not included. The introductory chapter covers everything you need to know to complete the butterflies including a refresher on odd-count peyote stitch, increases and decreases, bead selection, needles and thread, and substituting colors. This book is not intended to teach you peyote stitch if you have never done it before, but if you are a little rusty be sure to read the first chapter.

Book Synopsis A Flock of Butterflies in 3-D Peyote Stitch by : Sheila Root

Download or read book A Flock of Butterflies in 3-D Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root. This book was released on 2018-06-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some butterflies are the same on both sides, but many have a beautiful design on the top side and something equally beautiful but totally different on the underside. The nine butterfly patterns in this book are designed to show off both sides of the butterfly. They are three dimensional with their wings up to show both sides. They can stand on their own six legs and have a proboscis and antennae. All the butterflies in this book are original designs, not previously published in any other venue. The patterns are sized for size 11/0 Japanese cylinder beads with color numbers given for Delica brand beads. Each butterfly uses 8-12 colors of cylinder beads, except for one that uses 15 colors. The bodies are 15/0 round seed beads with a wire armature to support the legs and antennae and to hold up the weight of the wings. The wings and bodies are done completely in peyote stitch. No basic peyote stitch directions are given so you will need to be able to do even and odd count peyote with increases and decreases at the ends of rows and be able to follow a lettered beading diagram. How to assemble the butterflies is covered in a detailed chapter with 46 color photographs taking the beader through every step. The wire work involved is very elementary and will be almost entirely covered so if it isn't too neat, no one but you will know! Only minimal tools are required. The wire cutter and pliers from the toolbox in the garage will work fine, however, it will be helpful if you have round nose piers with a fine tip to make the little loops at the ends of the feet and antennae. If you have ever made earrings you probably already have these. These patterns are not complicated but they are detailed and require some patience. If you want projects you can finish in a couple of hours, this is not a good book for you. All nine patterns are shown on the back cover.

Download or read book 3-D Butterfly Patterns in Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root. This book was released on 2016-01-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The butterfly patterns in this book are three dimensional with the wings overlapping and the body raised on the front side. They are flat on the back, allowing them to be used in a variety of applications such as framing, adding a pin back, or adding a hairclip finding. They can also be used for jewelry embellishment, appliques on fabric, or hung as ornaments. The symmetrical freeform shaped designs require the use of odd-count peyote stitch, increases and decreases. This book is not intended to teach peyote stitch to the beginner, however the first chapter does include detailed information on odd-count, increasing, and decreasing techniques in peyote stitch as well as general information on materials used and instructions for the raised body and antennae. Each chapter also gives detailed directions on completing the wing sections with minimal increases. Butterfly patterns in the book include the Red Admiral, the Black Swallowtail, the Ruby Lacewing, the Janetta Forester, the Small Tortoiseshell, the Buckeye, the Purple Spotted Swallowtail, the Danube Clouded Yellow, and the Corinna Daggertail.

Download or read book A Butterfly Garden in Freeform Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root. This book was released on 2014-12-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Butterfly Garden in Freeform Peyote Stitch includes twelve patterns for butterflies and flowers. All directions are for freeform peyote stitch, however the patterns could also be worked in Brick Stitch. Freeform peyote stitch involves using increases and decreases at the ends of rows to create a shape with no background. The book includes detailed instructions on how to do freeform peyote stitch, reducing each pattern into sections to make it easier to follow the pattern and create the shape needed for each butterfly or flower. The first chapter also gives detailed directions on how to do increases and decreases and odd count peyote in a pattern this complex. This is not, however, a beginner's book for peyote stitch in general. If you have never done peyote stitch before, start with our beginner's book Peyote Stitch for Beginner and Beyond, or Spirit of the West, Amulet Bags in Peyote Stitch before you tackle freeform peyote stitch. The patterns include eight butterflies: fire-rim tortoiseshell, tiger swallowtail, question mark, peacock butterfly, agrias, monarch, mourning cloak, and purple emperor. There are also four flowers: marigold, orchid, lily, and delphinium.
