BillB Report post Posted August 3, 2008 I thought I would share with you some of my projects where I have used Native American Bead Patterns as the basis for the tooling design. Most of the patterns come from North Woods or Woodland Indians since their patterns represented the Flora in their areas. I have also included the black and white pattern that I start from. Enjoy.

Colman Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Biil, Nice work! Like the way the pattern is on both the flap and the underside of the flap. Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillB Report post Posted August 5, 2008 Leatheroo, ArtS and Johnny, Thanks, I was not sure how they would look when I did my wife's purse as a test case. Her purse is the last two pictures. Finding patterns that would work on the Flap and Front Underside took some time. The other problem has been finding the right clasp to work with the patterns. All in all, I was pretty happy with the way they turned out and so were the recipients. BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
