Dance Stick---Finished



This is a final update on the "Dance Stick", using a Buffalo Rib Bone.

Here is the finished "Dance Stick", all beading done and 4 pieces of real Turquoise cut and inlayed into the bone then sanded down flush with the bone and polished.

I also added a nice piece of Turquoise that I cut and polished to the very end of the stick.

Next was to attach the leather and feathers to the front and add the wrist thong to the rear of the handle.

This is just beautiful and I love the inlay work. I love that you share your process as you have skills I am unfamiliar with.

Beautiful piece!

Now that the dance stick is finished on to another project. Great job! I would suggest, with your passion for beading, perhaps you could teach in a Continuing Education Program at a nearby high school. Or offer class on your website. Possibilities are endless.
