I always add new thread before I weave the old thread in.

Cool

Nice video! What size and type of needles are you using with the beads and the artificial sinew? I know you mentioned using #11 but I think you were talking about the beads. Anyway, thanks!

Also where do you get your beads from, those are 8's right?

yaw^ko 👌👌

Do you have the pattern for this? And I'm Left handed!

Did you use dileca's or round seed beads?

Hi, I’m wondering exactly which tribes or where this technique would have been practiced. Would it have been in the Great Basin area?

First thank you for sharing your knowledge! Second, note to self (I'm at work and wanna try this when I get home) 9:30....how to add new thread after running out

@donaldporta

you have to go back a few beads and re-thread the needle thru them to make the link with the new thread.

How many times do you separate the sinew to get it thin enough to fit through the size 11needle.

@donaldporta

I separate the sinew probably 3 times.

The hardest thing for me is to get it started after I get it started then it's all downhill from they're so to speak. Second thing is to establish my pattern which sometimes is hard to do.

Do you think the artificial sinew is a stronger threading material than Nymo?

artificial sinew is very strong, I only use this--- I am not familiar with Nymo.

What kind of beads do you use

@donaldporta

that depends on how much time and patience I want to dedicate to the project. small beads equals much more time, large beads I can see better and can go quicker.

Where do you get the sinu?

I got mine from the back strap from deer. you can also find it on line and the artificial sinew is also an option.
