Paul also makes necklaces with beaded medallions and different types of beaded barrettes - - recently I have had bear, bears' head, eagle head, eagle, hummingbird, beaver, turtle, wolfs' head and great blue heron, chickadee, floral and more beaded medallion necklaces None quite like this traditional Iroquois bird - tho I hope to have many more similar to this in months/years to come. . I believe as I list this there is currently wolf's head, a crow's head, a more intricately designed loon, a blue jay, a bear's head, a turtle and and other beaded necklaces available in this eBay store. If not or if you are interested in a type mentioned but not currently available - watch this store - I get more items from Paul about every 2 weeks and I never know what he has been working on until I get them......
Paul St. John lives in Maine, his mother was Passamaquoddy/MicMac/Maliseet. Paul is a registered Mohawk who grew up on the Mohawk lands in New York, his father's homeland. He has been doing beadwork, baskets, birchbark work, dolls, quill and leather work for over 40 years. He does so many types of crafts and does them all well! Last photo is of Paul.
While porcupine quill and beadwork are historically Maine
Indian traditional crafts, not many Maine Indian craftspeople currently working use both quill and beads.
