Fingerweaving techniques

[billyjoejimbob]

Are there any GOOD books, videos or websites on fingerweaving?

Got anything for sale in the meantime? straight sets? womans belt?

you may need to know more about it then just putting a belt on and not know what your colors are or what tribe use them as well to know that the metis use them as well....
there is much to know so try to do all your home work first
and to just have some one make it for you is not the same as learning it for your self....

Colors, tribe? I might as well just get a solid white set!!!:Chatter

They are for a straight dance suit, I am unaware of any color requirements. If that was the case all the osages would be wearing the same ones. Im looking for strictly being able to match. I have yellow wool with red and blue ribbon(comanche colors if you must) i am not gonna put a purple and green set with it.

i do want to learn that is why asked about the books or videos first. straightdancraz mentioned he does weaving so I asked if he had any.

I hear the guatemalan stuff is loose and poor quality. A friend had some beaded blankets from the guatemalans and they were a mess. crooked designs, wrong colors. etc.
