We came by an older Native American lady from the Pomo tribe displaying her gorgeous miniature traditional woven baskets with seed beads ......she also was selling beaded daisy-chain bracelets and rings. Mom bought me a ring and bracelet. I still have the little bracelet...somewhere! The Pomo lady was very kind to us, and pleased that we were interested to know how she made the daisy chains. She actually gave us a demo, right there on the spot! Being a life-long creative woman, Mom remembered how! It wasn't easy to obtain supplies for us where we lived in those days, but we got some seed beads a short while later, and did some beading! We used the smallest sewing needles we could find, with dental floss.
