This week’s handbag, done in 2-needle appliqué with 13/0 Czech Republic cut beads on mid-weight denim that’s backed with lightweight fusible interfacing.

A pair of very fine southeastern-style puckertoe moccssins, made from brain tanned mule deer hide. I made the buckskin, and the moccasins were made by my brain tanning mentor, who has lived among and worked with southeastern Native people for 60+ years. It doesn’t get any better than this.

A smaller version of my favorite rose design, on a handbag that will measure around 6”x8”. The beadwork is 4.5” wide by 3.5” tall. It’s done in 2-needle appliqué using 13/0 Czech Republic cut beads on tightly woven, vintage US Navy uniform wool that was backed with lightweight fusible interfacing.
