	Native American BEADWORK
		nother type of beadwork was invented by native women in the early 20th century: single-needle bead weaving, called "peyote beadwork," because it was first used widely on handles of peyote religious regalia.
		Beadwork on such items often reminds the owner of a personal vision or sign or the meaning of a personal name, it is not only to make them beautiful.
		Dene, Athabascan beadwork, an essay on how it came to the Northwest territory (brought by some nuns), the patterns (which are Woodland flower style), and a bit about the techniques, with a somewhat diffrent vocabulary used -- double-needle applique is called "couched" for instance.

	Shoshone Beadwork
		Beadwork is the best-known art form of Wind River and Fort Hall Shoshones and Bannocks.
		This is as true for modern beadworkers as it was in the 19th century.
		One of the key features of early Shoshone-Bannock beadwork is the overwhelming preference for four basic colors: white, green, blue, and cobalt.

	An Essay On Beadwork
		Beadwork is also dependent upon certain fiber skills that can be related to other arts or crafts, such as weaving, netting, sewing, plaiting, and basketry (to name the important ones).
		Beadwork seems to have been embroidery-based, which would not be surprising in a culture that placed such an important emphasis on embroidery and tapestry work.
		Since it can be established that beadwork beads did not exist in the Plains in quantities enough for beadwork traditions prior to the mid -1800s, it stands to reason that not much beadwork was made by Indians (nor anyone else, except possibly some Asians), prior to this time.

	BEADWORK MAGAZINE - BEADING HELP WEB REVIEW
		Beadwork, published by Interweave Press, is an excellent next step for the beader who has progressed beyond simple stringing techniques offered in BeadStyle magazine.
		Beadwork follows the same format as most crafting or creative magazines: a few feature articles and regular departments, but the main focus is on instructional and project how to's.
		Bottom line, I'd highly recommend Beadwork for the beader like me who is looking to move to the next level of skill in his or her beading work.

	Symmetry Patterns of Ute Beadwork
		Earliest evidence of Ute beadwork is 1860; by 1930, beadwork had gone out of fashion among Europeans and Ute beadwork was to become almost a lost art.
		Much of the Ute beadwork found in museums and private collections was made strictly for the purpose of trade and was never intended to be used by the Utes themselves.
		The mathematics imbedded within the artwork of the Ute beadwork is representative of the area of Ethnomathematics study.

	An Essay on Beadwork by Jamey D. Allen
		Beadwork as we know it and (should) think of it, is a modern art form.
		Since it can be established that beadwork beads did not exist in the Plains in quantities enough for beadwork traditions prior to the mid-1800s, it stands to reason that not much beadwork was made by Indians (nor anyone else, except possibly some Asians), prior to this time.
		On the whole, however, Indian beadwork is a unique expression of art, created by Indians and that's what should be admired and celebrated, for its own merits.

		Traditional colours, colour combinations and patterns are still found in modern Zulu beadwork but the real eloquence is rapidly subsiding under the pressures of urbanization and culture change.

		With over six hundred illustrations, information on collecting and conserving beadwork, and on where to see public collections, this is the first survey to reveal the wealth and diversity of traditional beadwork from around the world.
