First Headstall.. For A Special Friend And Special Rope Horse

Recommended Posts

I've always wanted to do a headstall with beadwork incorporated. When asked to do a custom headstall for a special rope horse and to "do whatever I wanted", I took full advantage and tried this out! My friend hasn't seen it yet, and the pictures don't really do it justice, but I'm really pleased for a "first go" and learned quite a bit in the process! image.jpgimage.jpg

Not what i would want, but it looks really nice !! My guess is you will be asked to make a lot more of them.

Yep, . . . looks really good from here.

I'm curious though, . . . how you finished off the beads, . . . or, probably, . . . how you did it in the first place. I could do the loom part, . . . even copy the patterns, . . . but the attachment, . . . haven't figured that one out yet.

Have you got the little guy helping you with the beading yet?

May God bless,

Dwight

Thanks everyone for the kind comments :)

Dwight, this particular stitch is "tubular peyote"... Unlike the loom, each bead is threaded one at a time around the leather. You can find some good video tutorials on YouTube... Easier than than trying to explain in writing!

Nice work. My partner did some peyote stitch jewellery so I know how time consuming it is :)

Thanks for showing it off!!
