This is a question concerning the bead workers.
I live in Broken Arrow just outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma
Why will beadwork people not get together and have interaction. Perfect the abilities in each other. Yet being yourself and not take others ideas . There is the Bead Society but it is not geared toward Indigenous People.
Indigenous people had color sense and design abilities long before beadwork became a fad arts and craft popularity. I thank expansion in product growth.
People think so well of theirselves it’s I’m charging you to learn anything I know.
I want indigenous people promoted and their
Skills. I like novelty things but I’m deeply interested in indigenous methods not a paid class on how to make a dolphin or other non indigenous methods and bead design natures.
So is anyone interested in building indigenous bead methods and making face to face relationships concerning our art ????
