- I always tell my students.
This is not that complex.
I mean there are very few things you have to worry about
when you're doing Iroquois raised beadwork.
You have to worry about quality materials.
Easy to accomplish.
You have to worry about the number of beads on your string.
The length of your stitch.
And your stitch tension.
If you do those three things, you've got it.
That's easy.
The techniques are not difficult
but what's hard is the discipline.
What's the hard is the honor.
What's hard is keeping on going,
keeping on going, keeping on going.
Nine months is a long time.
And that's the hard part.
That's the hard part.
