Native American Beaded Hair Stick : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

Native American Beaded Hair Stick : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

This beaded hair stick was beaded using the right angle weave stitch (RAW) 3x3.

I have long hair and I enjoy wearing my hair down most of the time, but sometimes it gets in my way when I am working, and usually I will then put something in my hair like a pencil or a dowel of some sort to hold it up without pulling too tightly. I have been having a difficult time lately finding hair sticks, and so I decided to make some for myself.

Lucky you, I've decided to take it a step further and make some to sell as well.

Native American Beaded Indian Corn Keychain : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

Native American Beaded Indian Corn Keychain : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

I've been experimenting with Indian Corn and the various things that I can do with them. They're so beautiful. I decided to put this pair on a key ring, and I did so using the drying technique that the Haudenoshaunee (People of the Longhouse) have dried them traditionally. Even now the Haudenoshaunee have a huge harvest celebration and husking gathering where community members get together and husk the corn, braid their husks together and hang the long strands of many ears of corn to dry.

Native American Beaded I HEART HORSES Keychain : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

Native American Beaded I HEART HORSES Keychain : TSBeading - ArtFire Accessories

There are a lot of horse lovers in my life, myself included, and I know how passionate horse lovers are about their horses.  My mom once told me that when she looked into a horse's eye, it was as if the horse could see through to her soul.  And so is the connection between horse and humans.  I've designed this keychain with that connection in mind, and I hope that you enjoy having it with you as much as I've enjoyed making it.

While it seems to be difficult to see the sparkly mane that I've put on this horse, it seems to show better when the photo is enlarged.  Click on it and you can see what I mean.

I do custom orders on this keychain, if you'd like to have it personalized with special colors, just let me know.
