Inhaltsangabe

This book is designed to help the beginning or novice beadworker explore the art of traditional Native American beadwork and guide them through their initial projects. While many beadwork craft books stress more contemporary beading applications, this volume emphasizes the techniques and materials necessary to emulate the traditional art of native artisans. The basic techniques of sewn beadwork are described in detail and are accompanied by clear illustrations. The author also explores the use of color and design elements in traditional beadwork and outlines the historical significance of beads and beaded articles in Native American culture. This guidebook is an excellent first resource for scouts, youth groups, and young adults interested in Native American art and culture.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Poet, editor, and translator James Byrne was born in the UK. He is the author of the poetry collections Everything that is Broken Up Dances (Tupelo Press, 2015), White Coins (Arc, 2015), and Blood/Sugar (Arc, 2009). He earned an MFA in poetry from New York University, where he was awarded a Stein Fellowship. Byrne was the poet in residence at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, and is a senior lecturer in Creative Writing at Edge Hill University in England. He is the international editor for Arc Publications and the editor of The Wolf, which he cofounded in 2002.Byrne's poems have been translated into several languages-including Arabic, Burmese, and Chinese-and he has given poetry readings across the world. The poet John Kinsella wrote: "James Byrne is a phenomenon and Blood/Sugar is astonishing. Byrne has a razor-sharp wit, an acute intellect and a superb facility with language. The poetry he writes is both culturally and intellectually 'learned', but also rhetorically and lyrically confident. He is a complete original." Forrest Gander wrote of Everything Broken Up Dances that it is "like gulping firewater shots of the world."Byrne cotranslated and coedited Bones Will Crow (Arc, 2012), the first anthology of contemporary Burmese poetry to be published in English. He is the coeditor of Voice Recognition: 21 Poets for the 21st Century, (Bloodaxe, 2009) and editor of The Wolf: A Decade (2012). He is currently coediting Atlantic Drift: an Anthology of Poetry & Poetics, featuring poets from the US, UK, and Canada.Byrne lives near Liverpool, England.
