I made this a while back, in trade for a beautiful Deer hide...but I wanted to break it up a bit, not just peyote after peyote :)
As with most of my beading it was done free form (I think I am too lazy to make patterns)
I did sketch out a rough idea on the leather first...
It had been a while since I last did lazy stitch, so I was a little rusty on that.
Then the free form kicked in more and the rest of the design just formed itself...
The brown deer came from the hide he had traded for the bag
The beading is all done with 13/0 Czech beads...
Thanks for reading :)

Beautiful! A fellow bead artist. I have yet to do any appliqué beading, but this is very inspiring. What size beads do you use?

That is how I found you :) I did a steemit Beadwork search, and there you were with some pretty earrings :D
I use either 11/0 or 13/0 for this style, and prefer Czech beads because the various sizes come in handy.

How cool! Good to know, thank you, I have been finding to much inconsistency in size with the Japanese seed beads.

Thank you :) I never did measure it...I think the beaded square was about 3", it is a small'ish bag. He wanted to use it for tobacco for hunting.

I left you a message in your post about a day ago, for how to buy steem with the SBD, so you can power it up :) You can find it easily by clicking on Replies in the top bar in your page...
For now, you just need to keep powering up, until we get you to at least 50.00 Steem Power. The more you power up, the more voting power you will have, and the higher your votes will be. Soon you will be able to vote more, and not have to wait as long for your VP to go back up :)
If you try and keep the upvotes to 2 per day, your VP will get back to 100% overnight. When you have more steem power you will be able to vote more times per day.
