Custom Rod Thread Art by Dale Clemens is about your best bet. It has some of the patterns you've seen on the photo page and some basic instruction, although many find it hard to follow. Best bet is to attend a show and watch somebody do it live and in person. I know you can learn first hand at the big show in Charlotte next Feb. or maybe one of the CDs or tapes from Doc Ski or somebody.

Luis,
Contact Doc Ski and get one of his looms and his DVD, the follow up you get from Doc is unbelievable always at an email distance away.
You can get hold of him at docski377@aol.com

Doc's DVD is good. Try to buy it from one of the sponsors if you can. They pay to keep this great site going.
