I saw a contemporary tradish dancer once whose entire regalia was beaded...I know that sounds impossible:) But, every square inch of him was beaded. The work was beautiful, all matching and coordinated, but man o man, the was too many beads!!

Too Much Beadwork

Having practically everything beaded is way too much as this would not have been the case in the past.

Also having all the bead work match perfectly or on the same theme is too much also. One must remember that matching beadwork would have been very hard.

You can see match beadwork in the late 19th Century but even that was hard to do.

Getting enough beads from the same source could be very hard if not impossible. And each time a trader came around or each time the Natives went to the trade post the beads could be from different sources. Even if they were lucky to get the same source there would be trace differences in sizes and colors.

And don't forget the trade route that the beades had to take from Europe to America and then finally get to the Natives. By the time some one needed beads from the same lot that company could have stopped that size or color or even could have went out of business.

I have a picture of a fully beaded shawl, fringe included. A model was wearing it. I hope it was just for a conversation piece. I would've looked weird if it was actually used for a dancer.

You wear braces and they are beaded as well.:Chatter

I had a soccer playing friend get head butted once and I told him I'd edge bead the cut instead of him getting stitches. Man, I wish he would have let me do that.

[spottedeagle]
