Melody Murray's Books

I found very little usable information in this nicely photographed book. It was more aimed at what I think of as "embellishment" rather than what I think of as "bead embroidery". This book gave lots of examples of adding a few beads in lovely patterns to the edges of scarves, and to one's lapels or cuffs. It's a great resource for this application, but I was looking for something more tailored to the stand-alone bead embroidered piece that doesn't let a scrap of the backing fabric show through. I did read it all, though, and it held my interest but didn't spark any desire to try the techniques.
