Beadwork project#7 / Southern Plains Hi-Top Moccasins

The "earthlodge / Beadwork in Progress" series shows the process of my beadwork projects from the beginning to the end.
My beadwork design is influenced by various tribal styles. I appreciate and love all forms of beadwork and my creations are based on what I've learned combined with my own personal take and approach. I am not looking to reproduce any particular tribal style. I am simply taking elements that I personally like and incorporating them into my work.
Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you

[@ju5tscott699]

I love your videos. You are a true craftsman! Your beadwork is amazing and I also have to say your jewelry is so beautiful. I wish I could afford to purchase a couple things. The mountain band ring might be the most balanced piece I've ever seen with the rope design, stone, and patina. It's really gorgeous! May I ask where you get your hides? They are always so incredible.

[@earthlodge_beadwork]

Thank you so much for your compliment. really appreciate. I am using hides from my old stock. Nowadays it is not easy to find good smoked brain-tanned, but I got this hide from Circle S Leather. Thankyou again!!

[@funkybluesgirl]

My father did beautiful leatherwork, so watching this brought me to a happy place! I want to make moccasins. Can you direct me good source for the hide?

[@earthlodge_beadwork]

Nowadays it is very difficult to find a smoked brain-tanned deer hide. Actually I am looking for some as well. 😅

[@hoomalumalu]

Just imagine if the native Americans had had access to sequins and rhinestones!!

[@earthlodge_beadwork]

Some of them are using these days and I am not a fan.

[@mariadjsweetfixico9651]
