One more feather beaded :) And I thought I should do some photos on changing threads, because a few people have asked me how recently.
I will not use the feather to show the first few rows of Peyote because it will be easier to photo without the feather there. I will do a medicine bottle or something for that.
About here I needed to change threads...
Some people knot the thread to the leather, but I just weave it back into the previous beads like this...
Then I do the same in reverse with the new thread. Top thread is the tail, woven down and now letting the needle come out at the point where I need to add the next bead...
The tension of the weave with the previous beads, then the new beads, will hold everything securely. There is no need for knotting while changing threads in peyote or gourd stitch. This way leaves a smooth transition that cannot be seen on the finished piece :)
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed :)
