21. Brilliantly Beaded: Northeastern Native American Beadwork Pictures and descriptions of Northeast Indian beadwork. http://www.umaine.edu/hudsonmuseum/virtual1.htm

Purses Moccasins Novelties Regalia ... Resources Brilliantly Beaded celebrates the rich beadworking traditions of Native peoples of the Northeast through the objects they created for their own use and to sell to others. Early European explorers describe indigenous clothing, which was made from hides and furs and decorated with painted motifs, porcupine quill, moosehair embroidery and shell beads. Among the trade items Europeans brought with them to North America were glass seed beads, needles, thread, ribbons and cloth. These materials rapidly replaced earlier decorative traditions that relied on the use of bone awls, sinew and painted designs. Native Peoples incorporated not only these new materials, but also new design motifs and decorative treatments from European sources and from other Native Peoples. Brilliantly Beaded explores the evolution of Northeastern beadwork from the seventeenth century to the present-day. Exhibits Home

F or countless generations, beadwork has rested on the heart of humankind's most significant cultural displays, occupying an intimate place in religion, ceremony, social status and commerce. Today's bead artists draw from ancient techniques, as well as new technologies, to create awe-inspiring objects whose impact magnifies as each bead is chosen, one at a time, to dance in light and shadow. There is no other craft like beadwork "to bede " once meant "to pray". Enjoy the bead art contained herein. Mary Portfolio About the Artist Contact Links ©2007 Mary J. Tafoya.

" Miinens " is the fruit of the hawthorn tree, miinensagaawunzh . Perhaps seed beads were named for this tree because its 5-lobed leaves reminded the women of hands. They may have learned from the Ursuline nuns who taught bead embroidery in the early 1700's that the hawthorn's thorny branches were used for Christ's crown of thorns, and so felt the tree was sacred to the Europeans, who brought seed beads, this gift of beauty and skill.

I have been beading on and off for almost 20 years. A lot of those years I spent doing more bead “buying” and bead “fondling” than actually working with them . I also enjoy doing collage and altered art. I feel the same way about paper and pictures that I do about beads. Trouble! Thank you for looking and thanks for all the nice comments yall have emailed to me. I appreciate it. Please feel free to e-mail me and talk beads or altered art.

34. MED | Maasai Culture | Maasai Beadwork & Jewelery beadwork became increasingly popular after 1900 when the Maasai began trading with Europeans in nearby Kenya and Tanzania for beads made out of glass and http://www.maasaieducation.org/maasai-culture/maasai-beadwork-jewelry.htm

mm mmLoadMenu mmLoadMenus( Throughout the world, ethnic groups are characterized and identified by dress and ornamentation. The Maasai are, perhaps, one of the most widely recognized people in terms of fashion and decoration, sporting bright colors, intricate patterns, and jewelry that dangles, jingles, and catches the eye. The Maasai conjure up popular images of young brides weighted with beaded ornamentation, numerous, collar necklaces that rhythmically move when they dance, headdresses that drape and accent the facial features, and brightly colored bangles wrapped tightly around forearms. However, while the Maasai have become widely recognized for their beaded ornaments, few westerners have taken the time to understand the history, symbolism, and social meaning of the craft. Beadwork became increasingly popular after 1900 when the Maasai began trading with Europeans in nearby Kenya and Tanzania for beads made out of glass and plastic, but it has always been an important aspect of their culture. Traditionally local raw materials such as seeds, skins, copper, bone, gourd and wood were used in the craft. Maasai women have always sat together between their daily tasks of looking after the children, milking the cows, cooking, and constructing homes and animal pens to sit together and make beaded jewelry. To this day beadwork is an important means through which women demonstrate their social understanding and creative capability. Jewelry is created mostly for its beauty, which is a very important aspect of Maasai culture. But jewelry is also created and given in the Maasai community to signify special relationships, such as a young couple engaged to be married, or on special occasions, such as the celebration of a successful lion hunt, or worn for one of many ceremonies, like the naming ceremony, or the warrior ceremony, which indicate a rite of passage in the life sequence of the Maasai.
