[@crystal_roses]

Finally, someone who does it right instead of the wrap around method. I want it to be even and a real peyote stitch style. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@donaldporta]

Glad you like it!

I really liked how this tutorial was presented. It was simple to the point and answered my question . Ive been beading for years but as time goes by one sometimes needs a refresher as i did. Thanks nice job and many successful creations . David P.

[@davldp9727]

Was wondering if anyone wanted me to post my bead work. There my own personal colors and patterns. So your aware I don't often use patterns ,I'm more of a free style beader.

First thank you for sharing your knowledge! Second, note to self (I'm at work and wanna try this when I get home) 9:30....how to add new thread after running out

[@donaldporta]

you have to go back a few beads and re-thread the needle thru them to make the link with the new thread.

[@rickdillenbeck7397]

Excellent! Thanks

[@donaldporta]

You are welcome!

[@alexandralee6649]

Could you use thread if you don’t have sinu

[@donaldporta]

yes but use waxed thread

[@johnnytookmypic]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing

[@donaldporta]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marianh4566]

Also where do you get your beads from, those are 8's right?

[@aurawright2130]

Nice video! What size and type of needles are you using with the beads and the artificial sinew? I know you mentioned using #11 but I think you were talking about the beads. Anyway, thanks!

[@SuperAjej]

Thank you for the lesson 👍🏼

[@sherryh1014]

I always add new thread before I weave the old thread in.

[@tracyhall4648]

Do you have the pattern for this? And I'm Left handed!

[@DavidDavid-fs1ro]

The hardest thing for me is to get it started after I get it started then it's all downhill from they're so to speak. Second thing is to establish my pattern which sometimes is hard to do.

[@donnademsky4020]

@@donaldporta the drive is over. isnt there some place i can help Native Americans by buying their beads? i see that you have amazon up there?

[@spunkygmahappy4778]

Did you use dileca's or round seed beads?

[@joanieh485]

How many times do you separate the sinew to get it thin enough to fit through the size 11needle.

[@donaldporta]

I separate the sinew probably 3 times.

[@courtneywarren169]

Hi, I’m wondering exactly which tribes or where this technique would have been practiced. Would it have been in the Great Basin area?

[@donaldporta]

I think so!

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

Cool

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

What kind of beads do you use

[@donaldporta]

that depends on how much time and patience I want to dedicate to the project. small beads equals much more time, large beads I can see better and can go quicker.

[@marianh4566]

Do you think the artificial sinew is a stronger threading material than Nymo?

[@donaldporta]

artificial sinew is very strong, I only use this--- I am not familiar with Nymo.

[@debrablanson1123]

Where do you get the sinu?

[@donaldporta]

I got mine from the back strap from deer. you can also find it on line and the artificial sinew is also an option.

[@debrablanson1123]

@@donaldporta I bought some artificial deer sinue, yeah not a fan and I can't seem to find the real stuff any suggestions besides going deer hunting?
