Have you ever seen Native American Beading? Have you ever held a piece of sacred art and wondered at its origins? Here is a guide that can not only open the world of Native American Beading but will give you a glimpse into the culture and origins of this wonderful art.
This book is written by Leonora Raye, who will take you from knowing about beading to experiencing the art – firsthand. You will find yourself led, step-by-step, through colorful illustrations and instructions that will allow you to create your own designs and implement them into beautiful pieces of Native American art. Even with no prior experience, you can learn to weave and stitch beads into fabulous jewelry and adorn everyday items around you.
Written in a simple, modern language, there’s no need to worry that you can’t follow along while enjoying the feeling of accomplishment at learning a new skill and art form. The images are compiled to ensure you will fully understand each step, and the projects are thought-out to give you a well-rounded knowledge of this ancient art. HowExpert Guide to Native American Beadwork even shows you the mistakes you can avoid as you begin to bead.
Many books give instructions while leaving you to figure out how to finish your work. Each piece covered within these pages takes you all the way through to the finished product. You will be able to use and admire your work for years to come.
Many ancient art pieces are lost as time moves by us. This book will let you preserve knowledge and beauty from cultures closed to most people. It opens up a world that is rich in beauty and life. And most important, we don’t forget a part of Native American history, the skills, and beauty that’s gone before us.

About the Author
Leonora Raye was bequeathed the Native American name, Little Blue Jay. She is a direct descendant of the Cherokee tribe. She began beading at the age of six and continues to this day. She has been a part of many Native American beading circles and enjoyed decades of being steeped in the Native American culture.
Many times, the Native Americans are portrayed as a conquered people, but inside the pages of this book, a part of their heritage lives on that will never be conquered. Leonora Raye, or Little Blue Jay, has preserved for us a sample of the ingenuity and deftness of her own relatives. The designs and complex stitching are revealed through her willingness to share a lifetime of being a part of Native American Beading.
