Check out the new seed beading book by Rachel Nelson-Smith, Seed Bead Fusion. The book consists of 18 seed beading projects with step by step instructions.
I think the most exciting part is that the projects are not just basic beading projects but rather are based on mixing traditional techniques, stitches and styles from folk beading in many cultures. The author also mixes materials such as wire work, and many different types of seed beads to get these unique looks.
