Description
Beaded Cakes in Miniature is the second of Katie Dean’s ebooks to be published by Vivebooks. Since the closure of the Vivebooks webstore in 2022, this ebook has now been turned into an online beading class which you can access at this link: https://my-world-of-beads.teachable.com/p/beaded-cakes-in-miniature/?preview=logged_out.
Katie has designed ten miniature cakes to celebrate a range of occasions. (‘Bling’ for all occasions, Birthdays, Christmas, Weddings, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s, Good Luck and Congratulations). All the cakes are made using cylinder and seed beads and Peyote stitch.
The designs include step-by-step written instructions and photographic illustrations. Plus, Katie has included more ideas. So, you can design your own little beaded celebrations.
The book includes videos that demonstrate the techniques for making these miniature three-dimensional beaded cakes. So, it feels like having Katie in your own home, teaching you personally.
This book is perfect for all levels. Beginners can learn how to work in three-dimensional Peyote stitch. More advanced beaders can set their imagination free to develop the designs suggested in the book. Or, maybe go on to create their own versions.
Beaded Cakes in Miniature provided the inspiration that would lead Katie on to create one of the books for which she is best known: Sweet Treats. So, you can see some of the original designs that appeared in Sweet Treats on the gallery pages in Beaded Cakes in Miniature.
