Thank you I have an intertribal family , my Dad live on Pine Ridge he passed and I lost connection to the Rez, my son (is 6 years old Salish Kootanee) and my daughter (8 years old Dakota Sisseton Wahpeton Rez) Thank you for helping me teach them.... I used to dance what they call old school fancy shawl as a kid, taking the kids to there first Pow Wow in April now I can start on their regalias, your help is so needed, my Dad always did bead work like your grandma described, humbly thankful
I was just getting fed up while beading and then boom i pop on your vid and seeing you do it with my eyes it all made sense now i can finish my project. Perfect timing. You have videos for everything much appreciated my brother! Wado
This was posted awhile ago, just to say I was taught this style to bead...it is pretty easy and fast...its also very easy to do different designs, to switch up colors once you get it down... your work is very beautiful! NICE WORK!
thanks for sharing this! I was looking at a lot of different videos to do indig bead work and this is the best one I have seen so far! I'll go back to episode 1 and learn from the beginning, Thank you! Miig'wetch!
Charles (Chuck) Snell , our uncle and photographer for the San Diego museum of natural history, and trader, collaborator and protector, of native culture on our west coast, and featured in this rare episode, "Dancing Shells,"and I review it, and all the clicks, I am so happy to continue to share this history, for now and the future
This is so awesome Juaquin...great video. I taught myself to bead so I could bead my graduation cap...wish I would've watched you first! I'm sure it would've been a lot easier if I did. It took me about 40 hours, but I got a lot of compliments and I honored my tribe. Anyway, one thing that took me so long was sorting through the cheap beads I bought. Does anyone know where to get good quality beads?
I had a question on what kind of felt that is called again? And also once the legging is all beaded do u then attach to leather? and how do u attach zipper? I would like to see video all the way through, this is the first time I'm making a fancy shawl for my daughter and can use all the help I can find. Thanks for the head start on things very educational!
i notice my thread gets gunked up because of my rough fingertips. Pretty soon there'll be a wad of messed up thread on the end. Then i'll be wishing that i used beeswax (or thread heaven). thanks for sharing your skills.
I adore your dress the beading is out of this world I would love. to have a traditional shawl with the fringing and colour s I would love to be shown how to do one
thanks man....makes me feel good, I thought I was weird as a guy beading...lol doing my first beading project design Mic Mac turning out pretty good.... boy what a learning curve lots of mistakes... But lots of fun....
Looking for a video on adding ribbon to a grass dancers outfit... Do you have one? These videos are fantastic - married in: making outfits for my boys, these are a great resource!
On the first line you started beading then you over stitched to lock the beads into place. At the point where you stopped on the first starting row, how did you return to it to continue on? You didn't show that part. Thanks.
The problem I'm having, is beading closet in the middle...the question I have is without confusing anyone, is...how do you hold your beads down with outer material in the way?...or, do you use the.."push needle through down to the hard surface, then lift your piece and pull the needle down through? For me, what I find easy is to hold in to my beads with my thumb, esp when working with circles...I was hoping you'd show the technique on how to bead closer to the middle of your piece...please HELP! #feelingfrustrated#
Loved your video! I've recently learned how to flat stitch, but one issue I'm having is it likes to curl outward. Which I'm assuming is because I'm making it too tight. I also noticed you bead from the outside in. I usually start from the finer details like your warrior first. Just curious as to if you tried it that way and why you might prefer to start with the border and larger coloured areas first.
Sara, we're working on possibly making pdf files available. Thanks for your patience as we try to keep our heads above water. We had no idea there would be this much interest in the show. Ha'hou!
im having a hard time finding crib felt. do you have any idea where i can get some online or an alternative and how do you finsh the leggings after you've finished beading it
