Strike a Light Pouch

I am posting my very first ever attempt at Native American Beading. This is something I have always wanted to do since childhood... I LOVE and admire Bead work so much. So I sat down and followed some designs and made changes here and there...
I had a BLAST creating this Strike a Light Pouch... and I am really looking forward to creating more items for our Tipi.
The Pouch is made from Braintanned Elk , Tin Cone Fringe, and countless seed beads. I basically free handed this one but next one will be more detailed and 'drawn out'

I love it when a desire is met, and it brings the satisfaction hoped for.
