SALISH WEAVING. GUSTAFSON, PAULA, 1980, Publisher: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS

A set of 1 leaf-shaped and 2 round appliques, beaded. Parts ‘a’ and ‘b’ are roundels, fully beaded at centre in concentric circles of blue, yellow, pink, and white, with part ‘a’ also having a circle of green. Backing is undyed canvas. Around the beading are pieces of notched felt in red and black, featuring a line of white buttons. Part ‘c’ is of similar construction, with concentric drop shapes beaded in colours of yellow, blue, white and pink, surrounded by black notched felt that also features white buttons.

Pair of beaded panels. Across a black wool background is a floral design in glass beads, showing orange and yellow flowers and green leaves on white branches. Panels are backed in undyed canvas. Part ‘a’ is the larger of the two, with a wide, scalloped red strip of felt at top.

Pair of beaded leggings. Backing is red felt, with an edging of tan canvas. A pink boarder containing a stripe of yellow and blue frames the legging, surrounding three vertical stripes of white with a similar blue and yellow stripe, edged with green. Metal snap components sit at each corner. Leggings rectangular, slightly wider at top.

Five beaded appliques. Parts ‘a’ to ‘c’ are flowers, possibly tulips, with a stem and two leaves emerging from a cone shaped base. Colours are white with blue and yellow. Part ‘d’ is a similar flower, attached to a long line of white horizontal beading. Part ‘e’ is simply a line of white beading. All appliques are backed by red felt and have been cut off a garment.
