This
is the back of the pink Niagara Falls bag on the previous
page. Many of the whimsies have birds designs, this is
one of them |
Another
bird design on a pincushion. On this one the bird has
a dropper coming from its beak maybe to represent a worm. |
|
|
This
is another pincushion that is dated 1880. It again has
the bird design, The velvet has dulled in its color but
the beadwork is still fine. |
This
is another favorite design, a boot. Some of the larger
ones had an opening in the top maybe to hold scissors |
|
|
Another
boot with lavish beadwork on it, in this example you can see the depth of the beading. Again the bird shows itself on this example. |
An unusual pincushion in the shape of an armchair, the purple material has lost it's depth but the beading featuring birds and flowers is still exquisite |

This pincushion has an effigy of a bear on it |
This pincushion has a leaf pattern |
