This volume covers beadwork styles found among Native Americans on the western Plains, both past and present: loom work, applique, lazy/lane stitch, gourd (peyote) stitch (conventional, brickwork, and loom-variation), plus Scott's efficient method for making and beading a fine fitting pair of moccasins. To help those just getting started, Scott begins with a full discussion of appropriate beading supplies,and a simple chart takes the mystery out of matching needle and thread sizes.
