Halito and good morning Jim How true it is, we are only Human. I am reminded of when I was first trying to learn how to do bead work. It was after a Sweat/new moon ceremony. I would do a few row's of beads and see that I had one color out of place. I would take it all back apart and start over. Charley Tom the Yurok Medicine man who had poured water for the Sweat had been watching me for a couple of hours walked over and asked me what is was doing. I tried to explain to him the pattern that I was trying to make and he said, I can see the pattern that you doing but that wasn't my question. He said I asked what are you doing you keep taking it apart and starting over. Are you just praticing how to do it? I said no, I want to get the color's perfect in the pattern. Then he said there was only one perfect person in the history of the whole world and they nailed him to a tree, was I trying to get the same reward. From that day forward in all of my beadwork and Leatherwork I would make a flaw in it when I first started the piece and the rest of the pattern would just fall into place.
