I can post pics of the buckskin dress I made for my daughters wedding as well as her dress. I made her fan, her choker and my son-in-law's medicine staff.. as well as 50 gifts to give away to the guest who attended the wedding. She was married Chippewa style under the Eagle staff. It was a fantastic wedding and very beautiful..
All the stitching I do in my leather craft is hand done. No machine is used.. I measure and punch all the holes then stitch either with sinew or hand cut leather lacing.. (depending on the look I want.)
I make many different styles of leather pouches, barettes, clothing, and numerous other articles.
All my work is for sale.. (I put that in as someone had asked..)

Re: Buckskin
Mon, July 4, 2005 - 10:09 PMThe buckskin dress I am wearing is not some of my best work. My daughter gave me 2 weeks to put this wedding to gether.
In a traditional Chippewa wedding the brides mother has to make or purchase gifts for each of the wedding guest..(a giveaway)
I made 50 gifts in 2 weeks, put together my dress, some of my jewelry, (some I already had made). Made my daughters feather fan, her choker, my soon to be son-in-laws, medicine staff that was my gift to him, and a few other things that I don't remember..Oh yea.. and painted the turtle on Tony's breach clout..he's the one holding the staff with the feathers on it.
Needless to say, I slept after that.. it was a very busy 2 weeks for every one.
