The Complete Guide to Traditional Native American Beadwork: A Definitive Study of Authentic Tools, Materials, Techniques, and Styles Review: Review of Monture's COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN BEADWORK - As the title suggests, this is (I believe) as complete a guide that there is on the subject. Many beautiful illustrations, clear diagrams and instructions are featured here. For beginner and the more advanced student, I recommend this one. Other, similar works are superficial in comparison, more like pamphlets that were perfunctorily thrown together, but there is a sense that the author really enjoys his subject! If someone were to have but one work on the subject, it would be this. Review: Great beading reference. - Outstanding reference on technique. Best suited for an experienced beadworker. Interesting cultural information. This is a book to actually READ--not just look at the pictures.

Book arrived early and looks like new. Not so much about beading patterns but the entire process from tanning hide to descriptions of specific stitches used in Traditional Native American Beadwork. It also gives great description of the color of Traditional trading beads and clearly describes each specific color and type of bead to use. Good overall guide for the entire method but if you are specifically looking for a patterns, you may be disappointed.

Product was good
Product was good, and in perfect condition when it finally arrived. The shipping took forever though. I was getting a bit worried when it still wasn't here after 2 weeks! It did finally arrive though, and in just in time for Christmas. It was a gift.
