Loomed

These pieces were produced by weaving without a bead loom. Most pieces were made using peyote (gourd) stitch. Some are one drop, some two drop and one is a combination to compensate for the differing sizes of the beads used. The designs shown on this page are my own original designs unless otherwise noted. All designs and images on this page are copyright 1998, 1999, 2000 or 2001 by BJ Chadwick. To see a larger image of any piece click on the picture.
