not a pendant, but i recently got some imitation wampum (glass) beads.this is my first attempt at doin beadwork.i made a quick loom outta a piece of pine and some nails.it's all nice and tightly put together, but im sure anyone with any experiance with this stuff at all would quickly see all my dumb mistakes! i made it work though!i dont have a clue what im gonna do with it,i certainly aint gonna wear it! though it is long enough to be a wristband or something.its a little over 7 and a half inchs beadwise.maybe i'll tie it on my quiver?....
them globs inbetween the beads are wax from the simulated sinew.
call me Jay, i live in R.I.

Jay, you would enjoy meeting Domingo, who has a storefront in Conimicut Village. If you are in Conimicut and see he looks open, stop in. He is a direct descendent of Conimicut, the granddaughter of Canonicus, Narragansett sachem. Domingo does great stuff with wampum.
Does not keep regular hours though.

Forgive me for posting about 6 years later, but how did you make those? Looks like a fun project for me. They look awesome, btw."The education of a man is never completed until he dies." Robert E. Lee

You said you were working on this and got me motivated .
Learned how to knot a necklace ( like pearls ) made a Mala .
Ok those are impressive I must say . I can’t get over the turkey bone and how you got that to fit .
Really nice work Jay .
