Title: New Beaded Cherokee Style Pouch/ Possibles Bag-- PICS added
Post by: madcrow on May 16, 2012, 08:45:13 pm

Here is one I just finished today.  Whitetail buckskin and a floral design.  Its hard to find pics of pouches and bags made by Cherokee from the late 1600's to mid 1700's.  Some imagination had to be used.  Don't worry, the headache is almost gone.  I think it turned out pretty good.

This is what is hidden by the flap.

Thanks.  The beading was fine, the headache came from making the bag pattern, Then drawing the flowers and vines.

That's the problem wanting to do historically correct work, so few examples to draw from!  I think you did a great job with this one, madcrow.  I love it.

You're both welcome.  I'm glad she liked the corner tang knife and the other points too.  Did you atleast get the fish hooks?
