All
of our headdresses are hand beaded (lazy stitch or applique) brow bands in
traditional colors - not loom beaded.
All
feathers are hand wrapped and hand painted with trade cloth/flannel or
other material. The preferred color in the old days was red or yellow
Feathers are decorated with horse hair, breath feathers, gypsum, buckskin/elk
or fur on tips of feathers. We also utilize clay paints. Each headdress
is antiqued to look old (if required).
