In this compilation of the author&rsquo;s previous three books, <I>Beaded Collars</i>, <I>Bead Knitted Bags</i>, and <I>Little Bead Boxes</i>, readers learn the author&rsquo;s original methods for beading miniature vessels, knit purses, and classic neck pieces. Pretl, an innovator of form and technique, offers instruction for creating four-, five-, and six-sided rectangular, square, and stacked miniature boxes; vintage-style bead-knitted handbags; and intricate neckpieces, inspired by the dramatic jewelry worn by the ancient Egyptians.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Each of the projects contains a materials list and instructions presented both in written and charted form.
