Beading Trainings Complete for Year One

Beautiful weather accompanied the many BLB members who attended the last of our beading trainings. On Saturday, Rosie DeLand, Master Beading Artist, demonstrated how to make beaded earrings using porcupine quills. The next day we learned how to do peyote stitch leather key chains. The peyote stitch entails beading around an object.

What a wonderful weekend the committed partners of the Traditional Arts Project had. The weather cooperated, and brought in great sunlight for the event, to help the beaders to see “The Little Spirit Seeds”.
