5.0 out of 5 stars
at this price, of course its five stars,
By
This review is from: North American Indian Beadwork Designs (Paperback)
originally published in 1919, this is a good, if very brief, basic reference. its age is a plus--the illustrations are of items that had, on the whole, not yet been influenced by tourist trade.there's a very short section on quillwork technique; a wonderful old photo of traditionally dressed blackfoot women, unfortunately without a date; and a section that isolates the components of beadwork designs, a benefit for those creating their own work. most of the few illustrations are from nations usually underrepresented--including assiniboin and arapaho. all in all, a worthwhile supplement to other, more comprehensive books.
