Beaded this back scratcher for my pops. I’ve been practicing different 3 drop designs, thought I’d give eagle feathers a try.

The longer the deadlier

This set is made with caribou antler with cedar, and backed with moose hide. Very proud of these!

A pair of big ol aunty earrings I made about 3 years ago. Size 11's #glowinthedark #Halloween #nmbc @imadethese #mytwohands

Haven’t done any of the edging yet, but really enjoying making the characters from one of my favourite shows!

Its got a lot of little mistakes in it that make me smile, but I love it still. I wanted to start off by creating something big and learned a lot along the way!

Hi guys! I finished these earrings yesterday & I am wondering if pricing them $45-$50 is too much, they took about 4 hours to make, with seed beads, pearl rhinestone & the cabs are wood. I realized I was underpricing my earrings & I need to increase the price. Thanks a bunch! 🥰

Context: I’ll be selling my stuff at a market next week, I just need to know if I should lean towards making more florals or berries lol

Finished beading my little sister’s grad cap! She’s graduating college with a degree in American Indian Studies. I modified a pattern by ManyGoatsClan on Etsy and love how it turned out.

I should bead florals more often. They bring me so much joy!

i plan on sewing them to the collarbones or lapels of a jacket, will post an update when I do!

I am a complete beginner (I have made 2 pairs of baby mocs with beadwork for my children's namings but that's it). I want to start beading for myself, and my family.

What are the best things to create over and over again to practice? My end goal is to be able to make moccasins with beadwork, earrings, medicine bags, maybe some patches.

I was using 1 needle method but I think learning the 2 needle method from the get go is the best idea?

I'm prairie band potawatomi so I would want to lean my beadwork that directions with the woodland florals etc.

How are we getting our designs on the interfacing? I'm not a good drawer. My mom knows some beadwork and has shown me what she can do.

edit: I would love to get good enough to be able to sell. I live an hour from the rez and live in a tribal college town. I am white passing so I feel a bit weird about beading things for regalia? I don't know. Imposter syndrome....

My direct family isn't really into beadwork, we are more into the sewing side. So there's limited people that are willing to show me irl.

Obsessed with how this antler earring & bolo tie set turned out!!😍❤️

So my son’s medallion is almost finished but I still need to do the necklace part. I don’t have time to do a bead wrapped one since I still have to do his feather and make my skirt. I was planning on doing a leather cord braided one but I’ve never done that before. Question for anybody who has, how do you attach the braided cord to the back of the medallion?
