Google-translate can do this kind of magic Toki onnistuu, mut vähän myöhemmin. Nykyään oon valitettavasti töissä 18/7, ei oo aikaa edes sännöllisesti lukea tätä forumia. ( Itse asiassa nämähän pussukat ovat odottaneet valmistamista Joulusta asti ) Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 2, 2012 Members Report Posted March 2, 2012 Looking great. My Mom and Grandmother would love them (we're all from the Spokane Tribe in NW Washington), so if that makes you feel better about the lack of beads. Actually, you might be amazed at how many traditional working items weren't all that adorned with beads. A little bit, but it was always more about function. Quote

Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 3, 2012 Members Report Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks! And good to know about beads using. Here are some good examples of "working" bags here. Granted, these are all repro (couldn't find any pictures of the real thing). Some of them are beaded, but you can tell the ones that were designed for work and the ones that were designed for show. http://www.missionde...icine-bags.html another quick search showed more of what I was really looking for. You can see how yours fits right in there. I just noticed this one has instructions on how to make some of the items too. So, if you're asked to similar stuff there are some more ideas. http://www.nativetec...ch/pouches.html Edited March 3, 2012 by Cyberthrasher Quote

Members WinterBear Posted March 3, 2012 Members Report Posted March 3, 2012 Not everything was beaded though, so there is nothing wrong with your bags not having beads! Beaded stuff was often reserved for special occasions. Your bags look pretty good actually, and would be cheerfully carried by a lot of the people around here. Before they had glass and brass trade beads, they would use bones, antlers, claws, hoof tips, teeth, stones, wood, feathers, leather fringe, fur, and seeds to make beads and trims. I've seen some very nice old beads made from sawn sections of small bones alternating with claws and sections of quills, for instance--it made a very unusual necklace. Paints, and/or incised or burned lines and patterns were also used for decoration on items where beads, fringe, or fur would get damaged or soiled. So, don't get hung up on your item not having beads. Quote
Members Suicide Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 3, 2012 So, don't get hung up on your item not having beads. Thanks! Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted March 3, 2012 Members Report Posted March 3, 2012 See, I think we have a consensus here - beads are overrated Quote
