This certainly beats the 'fascinators' that women wear to wedding nowadays! Super pic, Bill, with no distractions. How wonderful that you can take pics here!

I'm always fascinated that the North American Indian beading craft and that of Africa is so closely related... or rather - similar looking! Wonderful detailed shot Bill!

wonderful shot!! I think that the big item is a peyote fan (the small is a different kind of peyote fan) and the beadwork is the typical peyote (or Comanche) stitch. Sandra and I, we did copies of American Indian beadwork for exibitions using old Venetian beads (18th century). We still have some boxes at home.

As a child I liked to read books of Fenimor Cooper very much. Thanks for remembering!

It has always amazed me what the native Americans could do with those little tiny beads. It takes me back years and years ago when I was in the Boy Scouts. We had entire classes devoted to native American lore. I developed a whole new respect for them. Outstanding photos, Bill! You're making me want to get off my duff right now and go over there to the Nelson.
