Isn't this an interesting and unique piece. I can't imagine making all those jingles.
Traditionally, jingles are made from chewing tobacco lids and adorn Native American jingle dresses.

Fascinating art work! Clever use of the tobacco lids for the Indian dresses, too.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the dancing at a Pow wow so must have seen these but have no memory of it and these are fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! I've seen the dresses in person but never knew the traditional way of making the jingles. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I've seen those jingles but never knew what they were.
ReplyDeleteI've seen jingles at pow wow's out here but had no idea that they were made from tobacco lids. You're always teaching me something new Nancy. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I have never ever seen jingles. WOW Nancy, I always say you continue to teach!
ReplyDeleteI thought they were jingles! I can't say I like the art work, it is different.
ReplyDeleteNifty display. Nice to see the jingles included on a quilt.
