Guide leaflet. s (Eastern Woodland Hall).The best bead workers represented in this hall are the Ojibway, Meno-mini, Sauk and Fox, and Winnebago, all living near the the center of the art is west of the Mississippi among the PlainsIndians, collections for which are in the next hall, west. Almost everycase in that hall is a storehouse of beaded designs. Then to your right, AMERICAN MUSEUM GUIDE LEAFLETS in the hall for the Indians of the Southwest, are some additionalexamples. Quillwork may be found among the beaded objects in the PlainsIndian Hall, where both quills and beads sometimes occur on the sameobject, especially in the Dakota, Cheyenne, Assiniboin, and Blackfootcollections. In the Woodland Hall ordinary quillwork occurs among theMenomini collections, while woven quillwork, one of the most interest-ing techniques, is shown in the wall cases marked Mackenzie , a small amount of bead and quillwork is shown in the JesupNorth Pacific Hall, north from the main BEAD EMBROIDERY Originally all bead embroidery was upon skin, but later cloth wassubstituted. In general there is but one process: the beads are strungupon a thread and this is sewed down to the skin (Fig. 1). The arrange-ment of these threads is determined by the style of design: when thedesign is geometric, the threads are laid on parallel, not unlike theweft elements in a loom; but when flowered and other curved designsare attempted the figures are built up by following the contour desired,or each unit of the design is formed independently. This can be Been inthe illustrations. Sometimes floral designs are first embroidered in theirproper position; then the background is filled out by laying the beadsdown in horizontal rows (Fig. 17). Some of the tribes using the straight parallel method, sew down thestrings of beads at regular intervals, giving their work a banded, orridged appearance (Fig. 2) in contrast to the uniform surface of thatsewed at irregular intervals.
