These detail shots show the fine handiwork that goes into the creation of a bandolier bag. Each bag is hand-decorated with thousands of tiny glass seed beads. The example on the left uses a technique known as spot-stitching or applique to create curving floral forms, while the example on the right was woven on a bead loom, resulting in a more linear, geometric pattern.
