Some beadwork
BowEd:
Thanks...Never met ya but I'm sure we could make some bows/shoot some arrows/and swap hunting stories a while.
Hawkdancer:
Nice work, Ed! A great selection of books and patterns.

Another piece.Measures 3" by 3".Still plenty of need for improvement here.I tried to depict a mountain with the 4 winds acrossed it.
Ponytrader,cobalt,and crow pale blues as backgrounds and reds for crosses.
Chumash:
You do really great stuff, especially the leatherwork and also the beadwork (my fingers are just too thick, too stiff and too old, I realized after my first attempt!).
The rest sounds tempting and you are always invited to my place if you ever come to Germany....
BowEd:
There's a fella in your country of Germany who calls himself Michael Bootz that does far better bead and quill work than me.An artist.
I knew a fella here in the states that I'd talk to at rendezvous's by the name of Jerry Stainbrook.[deceased now].A retired navy veteran. A bead worker also.Fastest beader I've ever seen.He would get paid by the inch.Fantastic scrimshaw artist also,but would wear magnifying goggles to do articulate work.
I don't mean to be contrary but he had a lot thicker fingers than mine.
He did not brain tan and was constantly after me for scrap brain tan pieces.We did a fair amount of trading.
