a little bird told me

From a Mary Tafoya pattern I made this cutie.  I played around with the colors a bit, made my own brass cuff, and used a pale leather for the backing.  This was my first try at attaching a peyote strip to a backing.

and the stitching really is not visible to the non-bionic naked eye

I stitched the peyote strip to Lacy's Stiff Stuff, glued the leather to the metal cuff I made, then stitched the Lacy's to the leather.  I want to thank the Bobbie from Beadsong Jewelry for her suggestions.
