Some of my "road work" from the winter...I build and set-up trade show exhibits
so I'm gone a lot during show season and this stuff helps keep the sanity...I used to carry
a bag of knives to work on at night but too much of a hassle at airports...
Here's my "Gourd Rattle" with a deer leg bone handle and a gourd from lovely brides last year stash..
Counting the beaded drop it's about 16" long and the gourd is 3" tall....




A Strike-A-Lite bag or as I call it my new Sunday go to meeting phone case...
Wonder what the TSA will say about this one?



And I got real bored one night and beaded my new"Body Glove" smart phone case...
Talk about tough going, try beading on kydex!!
I'm mostly deaf, all one ear, 60% other one so texting/e-mail is my communication way
but they don't have to be so ugly....




Good to be home for a while, a lot of new talent here to look at..........Randy

Howdy Randy,
Beautiful work! A genuine pleasure to look at. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Beautiful, Randy. Thanks for the pics. The bead work is really something.

I'm going to move these posts over to the non-cowboy thread since it really isn't cowboy related. These definitely deserve to stay where we can view them. Good work, Randy.

Finished up another road project which happens to be another gourd rattle...
I can't seem to make one of anything..This one has "Gourd" or Peyote" style beading on the handle..
Time consuming but kinda neat...One bead at a time....Randy

This one is really cool. I love the bead work. The small ring of beads around the top of the handle where it protrudes from the gourd it a nice touch. :D

Thanks Marshal...This one was loosely done after a stone end war club I saw in a museum in England....It is amazing the amount of  Native American/American Cowboy artifacts  in Europe.....I suppose they kept what they traded for....And also thanks to Mr. Chuck Burrows for inspirations and those great photos he shares....

Rick, ya got some nice gourds....My lovely bride has some "Caveman" style just breaking ground now...

Terry, Thanks, always a pleasure....

Dig that hatband and all the beading I'm seeing here!

I bought a fountain pen to class my act up a little. My work shirts have no pockets, so I keep it in my jeans pocket, which opens it up for every manner of disfigurement (keys, coins, etc.)

SO, in true cowboy fashion, I made a sheath for it. Found some distressed leather scraps in my pile and went to town. I've done better jobs sewing, that's for sure.

A fancy pen in a rugged holder. Ha!
