Native American Zuni Beaded Comanche Dancer By Farlan & Alesia Quetawki
ZUNI BEADED COMANCHE DANCER BY FARLAN & ALESIA QUETAWKI. Zuni beadwork has evolved from tourist souvenirs to detailed pieces of folk art. First the Zuni artists carve a wooden form and then they bead over it, using the peyote stitch and seed or glass beads. With a continuous strand, Zuni beaders meticulously create beautiful patterns throughout their beadwork.
