Ohh, Ohhh, Ohhh - do you have a reference for this? Was it embroidered on
fabric or woven? It sounds wonderful!  I'm interested in *any* period
beadwork references anyone knows of.

Have you tried any of the bead lists?  Both are run by nice hard working

responsability for any problems).  There are quite a few period beadworkers
around.
