Beaded Amulet Bag
******************************************
Native Americans say that only the gods are perfect, so they put one bead out of place
in their beadwork, effectively making their work imperfect. This is why you will see,
especially in my beaded bags, at least one bead out of place. These are usually put on
the back in order to make the bag more pleasing to look at.  Please keep this in mind
when viewing my bead work. And yes, I'm part Native American. :-)
