Two area men, one from Clinton and one from Decatur, show Mark McDonald the results of their unusual hobby...making Native American clothes. They also demonstrate incredibly intricate beadwork

Amazing work! Time consuming and a lots of knowledge. Very talented man. Thanks for demonstration 👍‼️

I know I’m 9 years late but this was incredible- that beading had me saying ooohhh, wowwww, awwww! I’m telling you I felt cheated that I didn’t get to see more- especially the guy who had all the flags in his work- I literally was gasping! They both had just gorgeous work. And for anyone thinking this is ‘culture appropriation’ think again- this is EXACTLY how we honor each others cultures and we need more of it!

I had the honor of meeting Mr Hendricks. He was very knowledgeable, respectful, and encouraging to all craftsman.
