Beadwork for side tabs

[turtledancer]

I'm making a new Traditional Lakota outfit. I have beaded medicine wheels on my cuffs,the tipi/mountian design on my kneebands and belt,a beaded turtle on my bustle, a sewn Lakaota star on my vest and clouts. What should I put on my side tabs. Any suggestion or comments would be greatly aprecated.

Lighting bolts ,crosses, animals, mmm? what are you colors that could help some

[tigger]

i would go with one of the designs that you already have, either the medicine wheel or the tipi/mountain or even some combine the two one the project.

like tigger said, try to use one or more of the designs you have already used. this will tie in all the different elements of you beadwork, and it will give you outfit a more cohesive look.

Thanks!! I was kinda stumped at what to do. I'm gonna use the Tipi/Mountian design around the border and the medicine wheel or Turtle in the center with some beaded feathers hanging off it. :)
