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,...

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.

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...

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...

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
