New hide shirt start. This one will be a Northern Cheyenne . Painted green upper and yellow lower.
I have lazy stitch bead work coming in Cheynne pink, Bodmer blue and Arapaho green.
-
I know those colors bud[the words etc.].Love those opaque light colored beads.Glad you got someone to bead for ya.It''ll look stunning.I'm sure you can see it right now long before it's done.
Hey my big old smoked buck hide I did a build-a-long on got completely soaked to wringing wet here the other day.It dried back down within a day and is as soft as ever again.I'll make something out of that someday.
-
Oh lord, I sure wanna see what you come up with!
Always loved Native American style apparel, most of all when it's traditionally handmade from start to finish 😊
-
This shirt will go with the leggings I have made. Earlier posts. Working hard at making a complete period correct plains outfit.
-
I'm sure it'll look stunning! Good luck 👍
-
I'll be watching Spoted dog, I'm sure it will be a interesting post

All hand sewn again heh?????How's the finger tips holding up?I used to put duct tape on mine....lol.Not really too much sewing of seams on those type shirts anyway really though.I used them small little glovers' needles.Look forward to the whole regata shown on a person now!!!!!It'll look great!!!!!It's a very long haul making the full outfit beaded/horse hairs/dyed and all that you are doing there.Kuddos to ya!!!!!
-
Yes hand sewn. By the time period of the shirt traders had already gotten linen thread and needles into the tribal people.
I started one shoulder and :o got one skin backwards. Oh well. Ain't stuck my self YET.
I will post as I go.

At Top Of The Rock in the museum there is a shirt painted these colors so far. Ran out of green , but more coming. I am sure the western Indians had the same effect.
-
Very cool Dan. Looking forward to the end product, I'm sure it will look great.
-
Thanks Aaron. The bottom half will be yellow. Going to have some fringe , 4 beaded strips and hair locks.
Cheyenne style.
-
Wow! I think it took color great. I think anyone would be proud to wear it on any occasion Now or 300 years ago.
-
I kind of like the difference of the added color and the color of the brain tan.
-
I'll be watching this one too dog the farmer in me will be looking for a John Deere emblem somewhere with the green and yellow colors. lol. I'm sure it will look fantastic when it's done.

Make sure you get that back neck flap on!! Looking very nice, isn't it fun?! Can't wait to see it fringed and all finished up!

I just got some bright red wool and blue boiled in walnut hull dye. The blue turned a brown/purple. Boiled them together.
Gotta get that on. Can't wait to get the rest of the bead work. Fun is not the word for it. I wish I had about a dozen more
brain tanned hides. :o

Well I have fun anyways!!! 😜 It's addicting to me, I already have two more to get going on really soon. One is for a client of mine so that one is on his dime!! Lol
