RE: On The Bench Today - Prepping Medicine Bottles to Bead
Can't wait to see them all dressed in their finest with
your beautiful style of geometry, colors and knowledge!
I didn't know about the cotton and leather, if I did I forgot lol
I do use nylon with bee's wax, lots of wax down the road
from some bee folks. Years ago I got one them giant
spools of nylon thread, it's kinda a grey or light brown
color, will last me a lifetime I'm sure.
I looked up braintan leather wasn't sure what was the
softer looking leather was for easier to sew on :-)
I like how you lay out and show all the steps you take
making your awesome work! @elew
Take good care ❤
Thanks :) I like doing these posts...
Yeah, it is softer, and will last for hundreds of years. Completely different than a commercial tanned hide. This one I am using is buckskin from a friend who hunts and tans in Montana.
This is a good write-up

If you ever want to trade some beeswax for something I make I would be up for that :) Not many bee keepers up here, because of bears.
I would be up for that :-)
How many would you like?
They are the long bar shaped
ones [🐝 🐝 🐝] lol
It depends, we will see what you want to trade for ;) You let me know what you would like that I make, and we'll go from there, okay?
Just as an idea, I can use anywhere from 10 to 50 of the little 1 oz bars, or more when I make candles every other year :)
Hmmmm I like all your work!!
I liked the shell wolf lady the you did, but I didn't see her on your
shop site, perhaps she already sold? I did see the little feather
which also tickles my fancy :-)
Yes, she sold. I am hoping to get some wampum carved this winter after the holidays though ;) You don't have to choose now, we can just leave it open until something fits you perfectly...
