more vintage autumn fabrics to play with!

some of the fabrics I'm working with...I use the strips of fabric mainly for making my gift pods. The brown, yellow and cream colored seeling fabric is cut from a pair of vintage curtains! Such neat fabrics. :)

Native American Museum, NYC

I went to see the "Identity by Design Tradition, Change, and Celebration in Native Women's Dresses" exhibit at The Smithsonian American Indian Museum. The hide dresses were so neat, seeing all of the bead work and designs were inspiring. I didn't get any photos of the many dresses but did get some of the awesome moccasin boots with bead work. I was inspired to do some of my own bead work...
