I have been a buckskinner for over 36 years now. I am impressed with your work and outfit. I have done both lazy stitch and loom bead work in the past and your work is very good indeed. Keep at it and happy trails my friend.
1.75x video speed comes in really handy for this video. Seriously though I am proud of your work and acknowledgement of the art passed to us colonizers via the Haudenosaunee people
Native Americans in this time period would have had buckskin thong between each row and at the ends which prevents broken beads from cutting the waxed thread. I also made this project for my powder horn years ago using primitive techniques. All in all great job and welcome to beadwork!!!!
It's a good idea to wear your horn small end forward which puts weight down and to the rear.If you snag the plug and gets pulled out of the horn you will not drain your horn dry from spillage.Dont ask how I know....
Great job, it was very easy to follow and to understand the method of making the beaded belt. Definitely going to attempt to make one for my ammo bag thanks for the video keep up the great work and subscribed.
Cleaning out an old attic in an abandoned house before they were going to just burn it down I found something that got me all excited. Wrapped in an old newspaper dated 1919 was a beaded American Indian breast plate (for lack of better name). I found it back in 1997. Even then it was still quite old, and I took it to a museum guy and he said it was the real thing quills and all, and the beads were glass. I mounted it on dark blue velvet and framed it, right next to my 3x3 framed arrowheads. When I went on a week vacation all had been stolen, even my buffalo robe, and other things. I knew full well who had taken the items, just could not prove it. Sure enough I was right, he talked too much to others. Never got my stuff back...but he did "pay" in other ways.
The man that stole your goods talked too much but at some point you "talked too much too" or he wouldn't have know you had that stuff. Word to the wise, if you value your belongings don't ever talk about them. You can't even tell your best friend as your best friends, friends aren't your friends.
@@patstokes7040 And he wasn't afraid of my snakes either. Actually...my ex did it, and I found out later. No, I did not get my stiff back.....but he later told me and I quote..."You got me babe...right where it hurt". Let's just say his "69 Chevelle SS with the bored out engine and 411 pos. trac. rear end didn't run anymore for a long time.
Can you put a link on where you got your materials so that I can buy them easily and you could become an affiliate to produce revenue from the sale. I need to start making clothes for my first rendezvous, if you could help me that would be great. I like your channel!!
That is a good idea. Until very recently I was in an interesting position in that regard… as a college student I was spending the absolute minimum that I could and compromising on quality. To post links to that supplies might box beginners in to buying the same poor quality materials with the impression they are getting quality… and I haven’t felt that I could link quality supplies without having used it myself! Like I said, this was only true until recently… I have switched instead to buying top quality, authentic supplies and materials as I come to the end of my college journey. The affiliate idea is a good one, I will definitely keep it in mind!
I have thought about it, but I've always thought I would like to build a bigger following first. I might phase into commissioning projects in the near future.

These are 1cm x .5cm in diameter. I purchased them online from Crazy Crow Trading Post. You can get beads like these made of varying materials, all the way up to handmade quahog shells, depending on your budget. In my case, I ordered the smallest quantity of several types of beads from different sites online to compare. There are lots of simulations and materials (plastic, bone, etc) so it might pay to do a little looking before spending any money.
You've got the right idea but you're not exactly HA. I met you last week at Smoke and Fire and have been enjoying your channel! You would fit in OFBR which needs fresh young faces! DM me for more info, I'd love to talk wampum.
Hi Kelsey, I left you my email recently in the discussion section of your channel but wanted to follow up. The last time I was at Smoke and Fire there were some folks talking about waterproofing recipes and I would love to chat about that, too.

@@ryandavis2928 I'll be filming some good puck-toe and center-seam mocs tutorials in the coming month. Then I will pick one pair and turn them into winter mocs.

Hello, may i inquire as to where you putchased your wampum beads? I really favor the uniform and glossy luster to these wanpum beads. I cannot find all black wanpum beads that are glossy... I have only heen able to find matte.

Loomed wampum belts attached to a leather backing makes for a real nice smooth bore fowler/ musket sling.

You know this stuff you make is pretty good quality, have you ever considered selling some of this?
I have thought about it, but I've always thought I would like to build a bigger following first. I might phase into commissioning projects in the near future.
I'm totally doing this.
It's a challenge, but it's very rewarding! Good Luck! Feel free to check back in for tips or advice!

What size beads did you use for your project? Where did you purchase this wampum? Thank you!

How long was the thread on your needle?
It is VERY long (maybe 4x the length of your project or more) if you are using one piece to move through the whole thing!
You just made me order 40 dollars worth of wampum... Thanks hahaha
Haha... enjoy! This is an expensive but rewarding hobby.
