All these FAN handles are made by the artist, Patrick Scott. For those people that make fans, and are not willing to do the beadwork, here are some very finest, elegantly designed, beaded handles. The size of the bead are all size 15 seed beads. The finishes on the handles are very smooth. If you want a fan done using one of these handles, please do specify which one you are interested in. All fan handles are 4 inches long or a little over 10 cm of beadwork. All are one of a kind. So, you have one chance to get what you are most interested in; once they are sold, they are gone. The handles are beaded on half inch round rod, with brass connectors. The brass connectors last the longest, and are pretty reliable, so that is what the artist recommends. These handles take approximately 8 to 12 hours to bead (going at fast pace). So, the prices reflect the amount of time it takes to complete these handles.
Here is what one person said, when asked about learning beadwork, she did beadwork on a small keychain.
It took most of a full day once I caught on to how it worked -- if I had to make my living at it, I would get pretty hungry! I can't imagine even living long enough to do all the bead work on your web sight! God Bless -- Jo, Oklahoma

I spent at least three hours looking for good peyote work tonight... and at the end of the evening I found your website. I join the rest of your audience in saying you are a fantastic artist... and your work is the absolute best!
Way back in my old days, I went to school in Santa Fe... early 1970's... and it was possible to find excellent peyote beadwork from Oklahoma. And then... I guess times changed. The work everywhere became less colorful and of course, the beads got LARGER. I would try to describe what GOOD CLASSIC peyote beadwork is like... and there was so little example to show. I was looking for some inspiration... and I found it in your work. Your website is excellent. Thank You.
