Quill and beadwork of the western Sioux / Print
Carrie A. Lyford
- Boulder, CO Johnson Pub. Co. 1979
- 116 p. Black & white photographs, diagrams. Paperback book.
The Sioux believed that the art of quilling was brought to a woman in a dream. Each woman used personal and original designs. When European beads became available, the traditional designs were carried over into the beadwork. This is a classic work on these important Plains Indian arts, applying to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes as well as to the Sioux. The book is a history and a practical, easy to follow manual for people wishing to recreate for themselves objects decorated in an authentic and traditional manner.
