![]() It's supposed to be a representation of the flower in Stardust.Īnd for reference, here's what a real snow drop looks like: So this weekend I made a snowdrop hair stick for myself out of a ketylo and some pressed glass beads. I think it's probably better than you think, and if not, then I'm sure it's salvageable. Thats too bad that you think you might have messed it up. I was attacked (I say attacked but yeah, jumped on) by the creepiest looking spider. Very well considering I did it this afternoon. its the weird motions that people make while they try to brush off spiders and after a while they are brushing off imaginary spiders. so i did the spider dance while running out of there. i dint look too hard though because a spidernest fell on me. There is only so much i can do with a dowel and a sanderĭad keeps saying that there is one in the garage that he could bring inside the house for me but i went in there and saw no lathe. Im running low on ideas for shapes of tops. i did still use my cylindrical rasp but that took 2 minutes tops. I had forgotten how quickly i could shape a stick with my sander. i hate having to wait overnight just to finish a stick I was thinking of making annother 2 toned stick like the one in the photo i posted today but im lazy. and this time im going to leave it alone instead of ruining it by touching it. well i went in my craft room and tried again. they are the most noisy things ive ever had in my bedroom while trying to sleep i used to have the same tumbler when i was little. and the tumblers i was talking about are 20$ but they send out a 50% off any one item coupons in the mail all the time so thats what makes them 10$. I think you'd kill your arm winding one of those cheap ones. even using a professional tumbler you have to tumble stones for hours and hours to get them smooth. It would be helpful to find more history on the grandmother for the provenance of the piece, maybe she was a show rider? She may have had ribbons won that would be nice to add with it in a showcase.I'm a bit late here but squiggy. ![]() ![]() I have seen riders at the State Fair who have dressed as such in past years in the arena. The gauntlets have darkened palm/fingers areas which looks to me like use you would find on pony/horse riding gloves. Tradition is for the person to make their own traditional dress, sometimes beads are passed down to family, the turquoise beads on the gloves look like mine on the necklace. ![]() I have attended and helped make Pow Wow Fancy Dance dresses for friends. The gloves look to be sewn with cotton coat thread maybe. I took it to a Native American beading shop and they were able to date the beads and find matching replaces for bead and sinue. It was strung with deer sinue and leather strips, the sinue is so fragile that over time a few beads had gotten lost. I inherited a beaded necklace she made when she was young, she passed in 1900. ![]() My late husband's great grandmother was Ojibwa originally from Turtle Mountain and walked the entire trip to Fort Snelling in Minnesota when she was in her 20s and settled here. I have worked with several Ojibwa tribes over the years in MI and MN that which this is a common motif with woodland tribes. The lining is becoming threadbare in spots, so take care as to not disturb that too much. Beautiful pair of beaded gauntlets! I think they are midcentury-modern (1930's-60's) well made with great care to detail on the beadwork. ![]()
