Designs include Sioux Star with a Bear Paw, Buffalo Spirit, Red & Yellow Arrow Geometric, Red & Black Geometric, Four Feathers, Sunburst, Blue & White Geometric, various Butterflies, Medicine Buffalo, several Flower patterns including Tulips, Roses, Steeple Flowers, Christmas Flowers and more, Orange Rosebud, Dove of Peace, Christian Crosses, a Jesus oval, Turtles, Feathers, more Geometrics, Dragonflies, Star of Joy, a Horse, a Fish and more. The Medicine Buffalo Pattern includes an illustration showing how to place beads within a pattern.
All the patterns can be enlarged or reduced in size to fit a particular area and they can be combined to form more complex patterns. Templates for popular beaded items such as barrettes, bolos and hairties are provided, but don t stop there - use the patterns for belts, hatbands, bracelets, pouches, wallets, purses, jackets, fans and anything else that can be decorated with beads.
There are 24 photographs of beaded pieces that show different patterns and combinations, including Bear & Salmon, Medicine Wheels, Roses and several Geometrics. Most are detailed enough to show how the beads are sewn into the pattern. Beade items shown include bolo ties, a belt, breastplate center decoration, belt side tab, vest, barrettes, kneeband, armband, and a bustle center.
