This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 44 pages. 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.

Download or read book 3 D Butterfly Patterns in Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-10 with total page 52 pages. 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 Flock of Butterflies in 3 D Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 54 pages. 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 A Butterfly Garden in Freeform Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 58 pages. 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.

Download or read book Fast Peyote Stitch Jewelry written by Josie Fabre and published by Kalmbach Books. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designer Josie Fabre has developed a new technique that allows for much quicker creation of the Peyote stitch. This is often the first stitch learned by beginning stitchers and is extremely time-consuming. By using a technique she developed, combined with her own, original, multi-drop, even-count, flat peyote patterns she has simplified the process. Keeping beginners in mind the book has 25+ beautiful projects designed with a minimum of colors in each pattern to making the patterns easier to follow and faster to create. Her inspired bracelet patterns range from the traditional wide to slim width, some include clean edging, some are finished with a stitched toggle clasp, and others use a double clasp. While bracelets are the main jewelry piece created in peyote stitch, Josie has also added necklaces and earrings to her mix in this book.

Download or read book A Garden of Flowers in Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Flower Garden in Peyote Stitch includes ten designs in flat peyote stitch with freeform edges. Patterns are shown in a lettered diagram form. The book includes a complete list of all colors needed to complete all ten patterns, 54 colors total. Each pattern uses from seven to sixteen colors; seven patterns also have butterflies so there are colors for the flower and colors for the butterfly. Colors are chosen to give the designs a more three-dimensional look in a flat piece of beadwork. Bead numbers shown are for Miyuki Delica beads in size 11/0, however any brand of Japanese cylinder beads could be used. All patterns are shown in a finished photo as well. Patterns include: a pansy, a Pipeline Swallowtail on a desert rose (Beauty Cloud variety), a cactus flower with a Plain Tiger butterfly, a Violet Spotted Charaxes butterfly on a purple clematis flower, a sunflower with a Blue Pansy Butterfly, a Redbase Jezebel Butterfly on a zinnia, a Cairns Birdwing Butterfly on a blue wildflower, a Scarlet Mormon Butterfly on a pink clematis flower, a tri-color rose, and a water hyacinth flower. A chapter is included on all the basics you need to complete the patterns, as well as an appendix on peyote stitch in case you need a refresher on even count, odd count, increases, or decreases. All patterns are original designs and have not been published in any other venue. Some artistic license has been used in combining butterflies with flowers. Some butterflies may be more accurately portrayed in a mud puddle but a flower is a bit more attractive in beadwork. The size and geographic relationship between flowers and butterflies has also been chosen for effect rather than accuracy. This book is part of a series of Peyote Stitch patterns. Watch for 'A Passion for Flowers' coming soon: another collection of 3-D flower patterns in peyote stitch.

All the flowers in the book are original patterns not previously published elsewhere. They are not generated by computer software. The patterns are approximately life size and are designed for size 11/0 rocailles (round seed beads) with a few 15/0 rocailles added to get the correct curves and shaping. They could also be made in larger or smaller sizes by using 8/0 or 15/0 rocailles. The designs strive for as much realism as possible given the limitations of working with size 11/0 rocailles! Patterns use from three to seven colors. This book is not intended for the beginner who has never done any peyote stitch, however a chapter is included with instructions on doing all the techniques in the book as well as advise on selecting beads and thread, keeping tight tension, and other useful information.

Download or read book A Passion for Flowers in 3 D Peyote Stitch written by Sheila Root and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of a challenge from one of my readers. The patterns are a combination of engineering and bead artistry but the engineering is done for you so you get the fun of watching your flowers bloom one bead at a time. So for Victoria and all the other flower-loving bead artists around the world, this one's for you! The flowers in this book are three dimensional, complete on all sides including stems, bracts, and some leaves. They can also be made without the stems for a flatter application. Flowers include Purple Passion Flower, Carnation, Blue Aster, Gaillardia (also called Blanket Flowers), Bright Lights variety of Cosmos, Nasturtium, Lilac, Seashell Cosmos in either single color or bi-color, Columbine, and Snap Dragon. All flowers are shown on the back cover or look inside for the Table of Contents. The designs have detailed instructions and are fully illustrated with over 300 color photographs and diagrams. All designs are original and have not been previously published in any other venue. All flowers are approximately life size when made with size 11/0 round seed beads. Size 15/0 round seed beads are also used for shaping, to smooth edges, and for some of the more delicate parts where 11/0 are just too big. A good light and a magnifier help a lot with the smaller details if needed. Or if you just can't work with tiny beads you could replace the 11/0 beads with 8/0 and the 15/0 with 11/0; you will just get bigger flowers. Glass beads can be heavy so wire is used as an armature in the stems and a few flower parts. A word of caution: this book is for the serious beader! If you love those magazine articles about making a necklace this afternoon and wearing it out for dinner, this book is not for you. You cannot start a bridal bouquet on Friday and have it ready for a Sunday wedding. That is not to say you must be an advanced beader. If you have some patience and can follow detailed directions, you can make these flowers. Basic peyote stitch instructions are NOT covered in this book. You need to know even and odd count, increasing and decreasing within rows and at the end of rows. This book was a labor of love; hope you like it.

Download or read book Complexity written by M. Mitchell Waldrop and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you liked Chaos, you’ll love Complexity. Waldrop creates the most exciting intellectual adventure story of the year” (The Washington Post). In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell—and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. This book is their story—the story of how they have tried to forge what they like to call the science of the twenty-first century. “Lucidly shows physicists, biologists, computer scientists and economists swapping metaphors and reveling in the sense that epochal discoveries are just around the corner . . . [Waldrop] has a special talent for relaying the exhilaration of moments of intellectual insight.” —The New York Times Book Review “Where I enjoyed the book was when it dove into the actual question of complexity, talking about complex systems in economics, biology, genetics, computer modeling, and so on. Snippets of rare beauty here and there almost took your breath away.” —Medium “[Waldrop] provides a good grounding of what may indeed be the first flowering of a new science.” —Publishers Weekly
