On the Bench Today - Another 26 bead Peyote Stitch Feather

in beadwork •  7 years ago 

26 beads around seems to happen often with feathers, and since last time I did Fire, I decided to do Ice this time :)

This is an airbrushed Goose feather, wrapped with deertan suede.

It was fun to bead the snowflakes. I don't normally make seasonal feathers because they are used year round, but I might do the other two seasons as well, just because it would be fun :)

Sweet. My partner is inside the trailer right now practicing peyote stitch! She just started with seed beading last year. Shje seems to be frustrated! Any tips to beginners?

Awesome :D and yes, show her my other post https://steemit.com/beadwork/@elew/on-the-bench-today-how-to-bead-peyote-stitch-and-design-hurdles

And if she has any questions she is welcome to ask me, or you can ;) I guess tell her I said to have fun, and just keep practicing, she will get it...

Very pretty. How does one wear the feather? Excuse my ignorance 🙃

Oh, no worries...these are made to be smudge feathers, not to be worn. I bead graduation feathers sometimes that are worn on caps, but they only have one lace to hook to the button.

They are very pretty.

I love it! Followed, upvoted and resteemed!

Thank you!

Beautiful stitching.. mine are always so loose that I give up about halfway thru... Especially peyote stitch.. that takes patience.. and proper string tension

Oh, thank you. Yes, the tension is important :) Just keep practicing, yours will get better. I put up a tutorial on how I do peyote over leather, so you can check it out if you would like...but let me know if you need any help, I am happy to if I can :)

Now that will be neat to see...all 4 seasons.

Yeah, I think it will be fun :) I might do some geometric ones first because the sell the best, but when I find 26 beaders I will do them...

wow now that's an awesome craft!

Thank you :)

Fabulous work, as always!

Thank you <3
