Sometimes I just get a piece of paper and sissors. Fold the paper in half and just start cutting and see if I come up with anything. Sometimes I acutually do get something that works well!! ;) :Chatter"We see it as a desecration not only of a mountain but of our way of life. This is a genocidal issue to us.

I get designs from the strangest places......the rugs, dishes, tiles, magazines, baskets, quilts, people's clothing....like sweaters, books....especially transfer books...not necessarily Celia Totus books, but those are my favorite transfer books, beading books, calendars, etc......... You name it, I've probably found designs there too. The right side of my brain works overtime and can be quite distracting as well. Does anybody else around here go through this?

Goot Post!
I like this one!:D *clears her thraot*
Aye...
The first design I had was a Chinese Dragon. Its a sign of Royalty *which has to do wit my name* I interpreted into mysterious strength, kind of like, no one really knows if its real, but that it could tare $hit up if it was! AYE!
The second design I have goin is a Butterfly, which speaks for itself. I believe it has alot to do with the change goin on with me, and not only that, but like a chance to make things right for myself.
AND another design im gonna be workin on is with feathers, but Im just rippin that stuff off from my Aunty's work! *aye*
Pretty soon Im gonna be workin with a turtle design cuz thats my clan, probably put the wampum design on the border. oh la la!..::First ever 2002-2003 Powwows.com Princess::..

I'm looking for a good star design, nothing to difficult as this will be my first shawl, i was thinking o f somehow using the star on the cherokee seal, or a traditional pattern> any suggestion's on where to find patterns and designs. and yeah i see possibilities in all kinds of things just have to make them work. Oh and whatever design i use i don't want people to be all like huh? wha?? but there has to be a big ol' star cause MorningStar is the name my father gave me at birth(not my legal name, i hate my legal name)but it is the name i most identify with.and the Stars have always had alot of meaning in my life.
K. let me know where to find good tradish. patterns and such:)
THANX:35: :2: :)

Usually I have somebody eles do my designs but my last couple dresses came out really crappy. Ribbon was falling off and everything. But N/Ewayz lately Ive been wanting designs that express something about me or my tradish. For example I am part Cree, and Crees are known for their floral designs, so Im getting flowers on my next dress."Our Indian life, I know, is gone forever." Waheenee Hidatsa "HAKUNA MATATA"

My designs have to just COME to me. I've mostly done outfits for other people and any input they give me really helps. But I think about them, look at all kinds of pictures, then all of a sudden, something will pop in my mind and I try to sketch it as soon as possible. I've lost some, cuz I didn't draw them right away. The end design always turns out a little different - simpler mostly. But sometimes this process can take months!!...it is what it is...

My Designs......
my designs are the same as Mato Winyans designs i just get scissors and a pencil make circles and triangles and just start cutting every where on the paper and i can come up with different designs and some of them are pretty trippy also. i also use the colors from the rainbow like exactly every color there is. but the designs that i came up with are completely different from the ones that are shown on most dresses today. :) which is pretty cool.....*Stephanie
