dance shield

kechi makwa · 01-30-2002, 02:28 PM

I'm working on a new dance shield. Does anyone have any input as to the finishing.
Right now my rawhide is drying.
When I paint it and it dries. What have you used to seal it up from moisture? I have ideas but am looking for others.

I plan on using red cloth to attach to the top, but have also seen cream color. Any thoughts?

Hi
I would try not to seal it up and red cloth looks fine. I saw some nice dance shields at powwows with red cloth and feathers on them.
