Freeform Peyote Beading: Design and Creation of Original Art Jewelry

front cover -	 Freeform Peyote Beading

Celebrating its One Year Anniversay

Published mid-September 2010, Freeform Peyote Beading celebrated its first anniversary this fall with over five hundred copies sold through Amazon. That's more than a book a day! Conceived as a comprehensive look at the design and creation process of creating freeform, original designs it focuses not just on the beading process, but on design, inspiration and the use of color as well.

My thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write to me personally sharing photos, stories and suggestions, and to those who have written reviews on Amazon. Words are not enough to express my appreciation! Writing, by its nature, is a solitary endeavor very different from my teaching. I love hearing from those who are interested in freeform peyote or have purchased my book, and always enjoy seeing samples of your work.
