[Nfb-krafters-korner] Pony Beads

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Joyce, 
  This Pow Wow has been held in the state of CT for years. 
  I thought I recall you telling me after you attended this state convention that when you inquired about the availability of classes the person from Foxwoods told you that they don't teach weaving or beading outside their Native American tribe or lineage. At least that's what you told me they said or am I wrong?

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.
