Beaded Blanket Strip Train Pictorial by Teri Greeves [SOLD]

Teri Greeves is a master bead worker who won Best of Show at the 1999 Indian Market for her ingenious decoration of an umbrella. She has created another masterpiece for Adobe Gallery's celebration of the railroad. This fully beaded blanket strip features an engine, a coal car and 6 passenger cars. On either end of the train are medallions with the original turn-of-the-century AT&SF logo with four feathers emanating off of the logo. Blanket strips, whether beaded, quilled, or with some other form of embellishment were used by Plains Indians to personalize their wearing blankets.

This Blanket Strip is represented in an article on Teri Greeves in the June 2006 issue of Cowboys & Indians magazine, page 84.
