Pretl J. Beaded Collars: 10 Decorative Neckpieces Built with Ladder Stitch

Creative Publishing international, 2008. — 112 p. — ISBN: 978-1-58923-381-2.There is no other book on the market that presents broadcollar projects for beaders-a traditional form. Julia S. Pretl, author of Little Bead Boxes and Bead Knitted Bags, has created a collection of beaded neckpieces, inspired by broadcollars, the dramatic jewelry worn by the ancient Egyptians and a well-known form among beadworkers. She has adapted the traditional form-a broad, beaded necklace-to create ten original designs for the modern beadworker, with skill levels ranging from beginner to more advanced.
