Elias Not Afraid

I use the 2 needle appliqu�, 1 needle , lane stitch, lazy stitch, beaded edge techniques. I use high quality materials for durability and its uniqueness. Beadwork is done on handmade smoked brain tanned deer hide, I use antique and vintage glass seed beads *sizes 11/0,12/0, 13/0, 16/0, elk ivory, antique jewelry findings, antique and vintage hardware for dr bags, furs, exotic leathers, gold spikes, pearls, brass chains. I use a beading technique that was only done by Crows and died out years ago but figured out the technique but dont know the name of the technique.
