Need a Sturdy Little Loom?? Try my STUDENT BEAD LOOMS the 4 Sacred Medicines are embedded in the Uprights. Semah, Cedar, Sweetgrass, and Sage. Art & Spirit are one. Every Student loom has the Four Sacred Plants hidden beneath 4 tight wooden plugs: Semah (Tobacco), Cedar, Sweetgrass, and Sage. All hand gathered or gifted, nothing bought. Treat your loom with respect and it will be good to you. 100% satisfaction assured. 5" wide, 7" deep. 10" tall. This loom is really handy. It can handle a good sized piece of beadwork, the capacity is 3.25" x 25". That is emogh for many smaller belts, or a pipe bag panel, or medicine bag. It can hold epaulets or arms bands for the younger men. Many things will fit easily on this handy-sized loom. It was created originally for some Younger Beaders, show needed a sturdy little loom of their own, but Adults find it hand as well. After wrapping the warp as a continuous thread (wrap & tie, as described on this page), (or for widest work, use the wide warping method) you set the tension bar with the elastic that comes with your loom ( if you ever lose these, you can replace with hair ties). There are photos of both warping methods below. As you do your work, you roll it down and around the loom by relasing the tension. This is a good size loom as a gift, for a beginner, or as a traveling hobby on the road, or when sitting around the drum.
The working capacity of this Student loom is 3.25" x 25" Each loom is Made and sold individually. Student Loom is 5" wide x 7" deep x 10" tall approx.	When attaching the Tension Rod on the Student Loom,. I usually wrap the elastic 3 times around the rod, and then pull just one loop from each end over to the peg. Keep in mind that you do not have to use the high tension, I don't always use a tension rod when I work.

This is a handmade item, it is not finished with any toxic or "non-toxic" anything. It is natural pine, that allows the Medicines to "breathe" as they carry a living spirit. Everything is sanded silky smooth, with comfortable lightly rounded ends and edges. Minimum amount of metal used, only as required. There is a Magnet to rest your needle on both uprights, for folks right or left handed. Every loom is individually made, so each is a one of a kind I would say. None of them are perfect, I am an Artist more than a woodworker, but they are made with slow care.

Every bead loom is numbered and signed by the Metis Artist (me) who designed and built it.
