Title: Beadwork
Post by: Mechslasher on March 31, 2008, 01:00:00 AM

my daughter, savannah, wanted me to make her something after she saw my quilled sheath.  i broke out the beads i ordered last year and tried my hand at it for the first time.  been wanting to do some beadwork for a while now and this gave me a reason to do some.  turned out fairly well, now i have to make her a little knife to fill it.  i'll be giving it to her in the morning.  enjoy!

Gotta love them daughters, got twin daughters in college now! Enjoy them when you can time goes by way to fast! Cool bead work, know she'll love it.
