Lakota style plains quiver
« on: January 02, 2014, 03:18:47 am »
Well after two months of slowly and steadily working on my quiver its finally done. I used a gold commercially tanned buckskin I got off of Ebay. All the beads are antique Venetian seed beads that were made back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. I borrowed the basic idea and colors for the design from a Lakota quiver in one of Jim Hamms books. Hope you like it!  :D

Very nice. Now it's time to take it out and get some wear on it. That is the fun part!  Curtis

Very handsome set up, nice work. One day I want to have a set like that.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I can't believe you haven't had a thousand hits and comments on this  :o .Having done some beadwork myself (not near the extent or expertise of this) I know the work you put into it. I usually don't have a lot of time to leave a comment  but I really do want you to know that you did an amazing job on that! Museum quality that great grandchildren will be proud to show their friends!

Thanks LA! Yeah the beadwork was 90% of the work on this quiver. I figured 5 hours to  sew the quiver and close to 40 hours working on the beads. I have another in the works right now!
