In 2019 I founded Ann Benson Publishing, my own imprint, so I could have complete creative freedom and control in my beading (and other!) books. I'm not alone in this, as the publishing industry (both for better and for worse) has changed dramatically since my first books came out through Sterling Press some 30 years ago. The books listed here are entirely my own work; I hope and expect to add many more titles. 

Follow-up to LOOM BEADING with a focus on combining beads and fibers in small jewelry and tapestries. Take your looming to the next level with detailed tutorials. Ready-made designs and guides for self-starting. Bracelets, bags, hangings, and more in the extensive design collection. 

Don't be fooled by the title, this book is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about bead embroidery. Dozens of designs are included, but you will learn how to design your own through this book: materials, getting your design on your surface, tools, finishing, and so much more
