Demonstrating how colour can be used to create unique and vibrant beadwork designs, this guide will interest beaders at all skill levels. Colour is discussed in depth, including the basics of the colour wheel, the psychological and symbolic associations of all the colours of the spectrum, plus whites, blacks, greys, metallics, and neutrals. Other essentials covered include blending techniques, how a bead’s surface finish affects its colour, and how colour can be used to create and accentuate pattern, rhythm, and movement within a beadwork design. More than 20 projects- each of which represents a specific colour scheme or palette-include a discussion of the palette, multiple colour illustrations, a beadwork pattern, and a listing of the beads required to complete that design.
