Beaded powder horn strap - Completed pictures added
« on: May 08, 2023, 02:44:22 PM »
I am nearing the finish line on a beaded strap for a bison horn I made up last year. I just have to finish two more of the cross bar decorations, then attach the horn from the ends of the strap. Red trade wool backed with calico from a shirt project. Beaded with 11/o beads.

Its a 2 bead edge technique, very common in original pieces. Tedious, but it looks nice.

I can see now that it would be tedious, I can also agree that it looks very nice!  Thank you!
