RE: Native American Style Beadwork
This piece is lazy stitch applique no loom needed. the technique is definitely the easiest to start with but allows limited control over the beads. But I love the piece none the less. If I would receive a piece such as that I would wear it with pride.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I have not beaded anything else since I finished this piece. The patience of the Old Ones must have been infinite, especially considering the tools they had to work with. The number of hours alone in the beading of the modern regalia for a fancy dancer is staggering. It is truly an art.
also think at the time metal needles were not common.. the would often use bone......
