Carrie Dau began beading as a teenager growing up in Roosevelt, Utah. Her aunts (Alice Hamblin) mother-in-lataught her how to do her first project. As her fascination grew, so did her frustration because she was unable to find books to teach and give ideas to her. As she experimented with beads and discovered new friendships with other w beading friends, her talent flourished and she came to respect and admire Indian people. According to Carrie, the most difficult part of beading is threading the needle. Beading is therapeutic, does not need to be expensive, and anyone who does counted cross stitch can work up a pattern. Carries husband, Dennis, made her a bead loom, which makes beading faster and easier to do. Carries daughter, Christie, enjoys beading. The bear bracelet is Carries own unique design. The tulip picture evolved from 1850 beads. Beading even decorates their clothing. Lynn Andreason started beading an Indian ceremonial pipe after looking through an Indian craft book. He carved a tomahawk-shape- d pipe from a rock. Catlinite 16,560 French special of the pipe. stem the beads cover glass has two on display antique Lynn also beaded beetle medicine bags that he had recently acquired.
