Show Us Your BEAD WORK, Pards

(1/16) > >>

Marshal Will Wingam:
A friend of mine is interested in doing some historically correct beadwork. That got me to thinking, we don't really have a thread just for that so, let's start one. Let's get those beautiful examples in one place. Post pics of your bead work here, pards.

Camano Ridge:
Some "how to's" on bead work would be nice too. Chuck, KT, and Randy where are you?

dwight55:
I'll jump in there:  totally period incorrect, . . . but it qualifies to the extent that it has 2400 beads I personally put on all by my little old self, . . . along with a half spool of dental floss.

It is on the end of a suede gun bag for a rolling block 45-70, . . . so I think most of the shooting world will forgive my political incorrectness.

May God bless,
Dwight

Looks good, Dwight. You know, it's amazing how many beads it takes for some of these pieces. Thanks for the pic.

Mogorilla:
I have done limited beading.   There is a great tutorial for it on PaleoPlanet.

This is a braintan Apace inspired Rifle sheath I did.  Sewed with sinew, lined with trade wool, fairly period correct, but the beading design was the clients, his science/math team symbol.  Nerds, we're everywhere.



Here it is with two others of mine.  The beads here are purchased ones.
