Details:
Beaded fob 3/4" wide, approximately 2 1/4" long
Braided nylon cord is 30" long

Hand-made bead work from Native American artist Ralph Gallapoo can add some interest to that identification badge! This Beaded fob decorates a multi-use clip attached to a 30 inch cord and is perfect for displaying that VIP Pass or ID badge, and could be used to hold keys, a stopwatch, or a whistle for teachers. The fob features a wide variety of colorful seed beads that have been intricately hand-stitched into a tight traditional Indian pattern.

The braided nylon cord is designed and made by Ralph Gallapoo who has been making bead work for over forty years. He is a mix of Nez Perce, Potawattomi and French Canadian. Ralph has traveled the Pow Wow circuit for over ten years as a trader, participant and competitor. He is a life member of the Starhawk Society and has been a gourd dancer and traditional dancer for 30 years. He is also a veteran with the U.S. Marine Corps. Ralph specializes in Peyote stitch, but is proficient in loom beading, edge beading, lazy stitch, and applique. He makes and beads all the fans, rattles, dance outfits, and accessories used in the Native American Church. Ralph's bead-work has won many awards and ribbons over the years. The last time he saw his teacher Ralph was told "...the student has surpassed the teacher." He has sold his work all over the world and on the internet.
