Beaded Pen
Red Floral on Blue

"One of my own cherished objects is a fountain pen case covered in beads . . . Beadwork is not made to be looked at en masse, as on a store shelf or a museum case; it is made to be appreciated through the use of one small piece at a time. It is made to show its beauty through use." -- Jack Weatherford, "Native Roots"

Johnny Loudthunder makes beaded pens to honor his mother's art of pen beading. Each pen takes about eight hours to complete, and are very generously priced. The pen uses a readily available refill. It is a joy to be able to handle one of these pens daily -- the feel of the beads, so tightly and precisely constructed to withstand many years of use, and the beauty of the colors and pattern is an enduring pleasure. Each pen comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
