Speaking of painted beads. I have recently relocated from a highly Native population area to one that isn't. In my search to find some kinda community I found a Native American festival that had a young female sporting a full white buckskin dress with AIRBRUSH designs and no beads. i was sad and had to go, even though there is more to being Native then the dress and the dance, I didn't even get that. But I am sure that her great grandmother was a beautiful Indian princess.

I just had to share, it was a traumatic event I am still recovering from, there are no indians here and I feel like I am in the twilight zone

YEP you got it right wyo. LOOKS DANG GOOD TOO!!!!!!!!!!

[wyo_rose]

Yeah, they probably wouldn't charge me, just embarrass the hell out of me. :p And I will take a pic. Look for it around 4th of July.

And if anyone wants to check it out, I posted a pic of my friend whose Fancy outfit is practically fully beaded. Everything except his apron, that is, which I put together for him.

I hope this is how you do a link:http://www.powwows.com/galleries/sho...cat=500&page=1

LOL I dont' think the city would convict you of vandalism for a beaded hatband... MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A PIC!!!!

[wyo_rose]

I'll post a pic when I do it. Either one of the accomplished deed, or one of me in handcuffs. :p

I'm trying to do this sneaky-like. It's a big bronze statue of a cowboy on a horse and there's 3 huge steers that he's herding ahead of him. Every other Christmas, some decks them out with wreaths, or lays out hay for the steers. Sometimes it's goofy stuff. And it's all done in the dead of night.

Noone's done anything in awhile, so I was thinking about doing the headband thing and maybe bands around the horns of the cattle. But I gotta do it late at night. It's probably actually vandalism or something. :p

Hope yer not afraid of heights!!!!!

Serious not, contact the electric company and see if meybe they can help you out. They got all the trciks with the bucket lifts. Or the fire Department.

[wyo_rose]

Yeah, use puffy paint. Everybody does imitation beadwork with that!

And I know what you mean about the crow beads. Ima make a cowboy statue in town a hatband with them for 4th of JuLander. The trick will be getting it on his hat that's like 10 feet off the ground.

I already have it built wyo, now I just gotta find some big azz needles, some cool crow beads and some sinew. Didn't think I was gonna bead something that dang big using seed beads did ya???:p

[wyo_rose]

Quit bragging, Spotted Eagle. And I know you're stringing up a massive loom and working on that beaded truck cover right now. jks :p

I can see if someone is working on a period or museum piece to be all worried about which beads were available at the time and what colors and how much and the rest of the particulars.

But nowadays at powwows, it's all about the dancing and looking good while doing it!!

[spottedeagle]

I think a fully beaded truck cover would be just too much~!;)


by the way I have an GMC extended cab, if anyone has one:D
