Sophie T. LaCroix's Old and New Designs in Bead Work

Here is an old beadwork pamphlet I came across years ago called Old and New Designs in Bead Work by Sophie T. La Croix.

I haven't tried any of these patterns yet, but now that 15/0 beads are widely available again I'm tempted to do so.  Click on the pictures for a larger image but be patient-- the print is very small so the scans are pretty big.  If I'd dithered them down any more you probably couldn't read them.
