Book Reviews of North American Indian Beadwork Designs
Book Review: Historical beading under $5
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only add to the other reviewers statement about seeing items and patterns before there was "authentic indian crafts as sold on Ebay".
There is a wonderful section (several pages) that go over the beading patterns and what they represent when woven onto an item (by Nation) such as buffalo, wolves, rabbit tracks ect. I found that the best part of the book.
Craft history buffs will love the information on historical beading and bead trade snippets.
For the price you can't go wrong with this one.
