[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pony Beads

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Dixie,
 
What Pow Wow are you talking about?  Was that here in CT?
 
I know that at one of the CT NFB state conventions they had a person from  
the Foxwood tribe there and they had talked about blind natives learning the 
 Indian bead work.  I think they said something about having a meeting 
place  for beading in Rhode Island.  
 
I wonder how we can find out more about that?  This convention was  going 
back several years ago.

Um,  let's see.

A pony beads about 3/8 inch in diameter as well as  height.  They have a 
1/4 inch hole, so they are easy to string onto  fabric and cords, and things 
with some thickness to it.  I have only  worked with the plastic ones, but, 
do know that there are ceramic ones that I  have seen in pieces at the native 
American Pow Wow  that I have been to.  Hmmmm, come to think of it, I don't 
know if they are stilled called pony beads  then?  Anyone know?

Dixie, can you describe what shape a pony bead is?  They are  larger  beads 
and have a big enough hole in them and that is why Girl  Scouts use them a  
lot.

I used  to do some fun beaded bandanas with pony   beads.
