Up for bid is another Dakota Prairie
Treasures? Spiral Bound Book Republication?
of the original Edwardian Era "Apache Beadwork Instructions
and Designs" produced by Austin-Walker Sales Co., published in
1903! These folks provided some of the best instructions books in their day for
the bead arts! The experienced needlecraft and fancywork artisans of the early
1900's (Victorian and Edwardian) clamored for this type of item and with
good reason!
This
HISTORIC item contains instructions, graphed designs and fundamentals for
creating the extremely handsome loomed beadwork items of the early Edwardian
era! (Original is not for sale)

This is
a unbelievably nice touch if you have every tried to read a pattern's

binding for it's ease-of-use alone. I bet you'll love it
too!

An excerpt:
"Rare
indeed is the woman whose fingers do not linger lovingly on the beautiful beads
which are so temptingly displayed on the counters of all the large stores. Rarer
still is the one who does not secretly, if not openly, break that commandment
which admonishes us not to covet, as her eyes wander from one basket to another
filled with their treasures which vie with the colors of the rainbow...(at) This
time it is the Indian work which is done on a hand loom that is attracting
lovers of fancy work: and the handsome indeed in design and workmanship are the
belts, sashes, fan, lorgnette, and watch-chains, purses, bracelets and fobs,
which are woven on these looms."
