LARGER BEADED BAGS, INCLUDING A TEEPEE BAG AND QUIVER
(See Strike-a-Lights, Possibles Bags, Mirror Pouches and Neck Pouches for smaller items)
UPDATED November 21, 2007
Here are some examples of larger beaded bags, as well as a tipi bag. All beading is done with size 12 or smaller glass seed beads (resulting in over 100 to 200 beads per square inch). You can order any item we have shown here. There will be minor variations, however, as we try to create one of a kind items. It usually takes 30 days to six weeks to finish your piece, depending on the size of the piece and backlog on our work board. We will advise you of the time frame when you place your order.
If you have a particular design or tribal colors in mind, please let us know your wishes. Please click on the pictures below to get a close-up of the beadwork. Everything you see is created by Kokitusi`aki (Diana Passmore) or Siksmissi (Kathy Anderson). NOTE: Give these images a chance to load.
