My sister, Joanna gave me this adorable Kokopelli bag that she made by hand. The fabric is beautiful, she did all the sewing and even the beadwork .
It is an awesome piece of artwork that I will be proud to carry around to shows, conferences and other business occasions. See more of her bags on http://www.beadbible.com/Joanna.html

“What’s inside is another story. A medicine bag can contain innumerable objects. These objects are as unique as the person wearing it. Many people add their own “medicine” or healing objects.

Common medicine bag objects are stones, ash from a ceremony fire, roots and barks, herbs, feathers, dirt from a ceremonial ground, or wood from a tree struck by lightening.”

Hi All,
As I stroll around ETSY, I have been finding some bead suppliers with some really cool little charms and such in brass. I’ve really been inspired by the matte earthy tones of the vintage look lately. So, I decided to try combining some gemstones with such a look and this is what I’ve come [...]
