  • Re: Questions for Seasoned seeders and beading newbies.......

    I am Navajo but not gifted with that eye for color mixtures seen on so many American Indian (that is what we still refer to ourselves as because we still think every American born person is a native American and should be acknowledged as such) projects, but it digress. Peyote is my very fave stitch,...

  • Re: How do I add a back onto

    Hi All, Thought I'd give an update on my project as I have learned a few things. I did add the two extra columns to the piece and began the tube. One thing I discovered is that the word chart becomes very difficult to read for a couple of reasons--when doing tubular peyote you are always going one...

    Alex, I think it just dawned on me. AHA! The extra column is because you couldn't sew up the bottom (or two sides) since the up and down beads would be directly opposite each other and not alternating properly? Something like that, anyway. I have thought of a cell phone bag and decided it was a big...

    Andrea, you have been a help! Thank you. I still may do this flat. And I'm going to use the thread hint. Alex, thanks for your help. You've gone to pains to get me to see what you mean. I better understand it now. Expecially your side beads you added. That was clear--creative, too. I am pretty...

    Alex, Wow, thank you for your reply. You give another view for me to ponder. I have a few questions. When you say you add a bead in between the zip do you mean you incorporate it into the peyote stitch, or are you embellishing down the length of the bag (it sort of looks like that on the dragon bag)...

  • How do I add a back onto

    a tapestry to make it into an amulet bag? I know the basic is to double the beads and do tubular peyote. I am thinking of a couple of possible problems--maybe I create them without any cause for them. I hope so . I have a pattern that calls for 27 beads in the first row and 26 in the second. That makes...

  • Re: Amulet Purse

    I can't imagine actually using it for anything functional since it's so small (only 4 1/2" from the top to the bottom of the longest fringe). This size, it's more of a necklace than an actual purse. I think if I made one that was larger and had something to close it, it could hold a...

  • Amulet Purse (also posted in Seed Beads) - edited with better pics

    This is from Enid Taylor's book Decorative Beaded Purses . I think it took about 7-8 hours and is only 4 1/2" from top to the bottom of the longest fringe. Kassie
