Nice-I've become addicted to the beads since Jim went to the mountain's.  Now what do to do with all the little projects.?  If don't mind -what do you use for the ends of loom to hold/seperate threads?  I have a small storebought and have been using cardboard notched on end but it just isn't strong enough when get to doing pieces over 15" or so. have heard nails, combs, etc.  will work but need different spacing for different sizes.Don't know where you get beads-I found a little store near where I live and their prices are great. I haven't gotten into buying in bulk- mainly trying to figure kilos and postage vs a few cents more and can see what getting.  Don't know if the co will mail web site is www.supernaw.com    email  Supernaw@flash.net  they got everything bead and Indian wise.  Again nice work, you make own patterns?   Bulldog lady

That is great!  I never ceased to be amazed at the level of art and craftsmanship so many of you are capable of.  Kinda keeps me humble.

I designed this pattern to represent the person who it is for.
I get my beads from Fire Mountain Gems firemtn.com
My projects are specific so don't have any laying around.
I use screw eyes at the ends of my loom.
I can change the size of my projects by changing the length of my dowels.
FYI: the symbols stand for 1. Big mountain, and of course the bear print,
and the arrow for directions of north and south and the last one represents
the holy symbol for mother earth and the four winds that blow.

There will be two of these and they will go over the shoulders of a Capote or leather coat.
To sell these would probably cost around $100.00 to 150.00 for the pair depending on the design.
