New Crow Calls Flyer

Beginning any craft project, especially if it is your first time working on a particular item, requires some patience - and a plan.

* Is your craftwork representative of contemporary design, or do you have a particular 'period' in mind?
* Will your project reflect some general 'Native American' look, or is there a specific tribal design to be achieved?
* Do you have instructions on the materials needed and assembly techniques required?

The purpose of Crazy Crow Trading Post's Craft Focus pages is to provide a starting point in your research, to save you time and improve your chances of finding the information and materials you need to do it right the first time.

July 2005 Craft Theme: Flat Fans
The flat fan is a favorite object that has been carried by the American Indian for many years and is found in a number of different styles over a wide region of the United States. It is most commonly carried by both male and female dancers and other powwow participants, as well as being used for religious purposes.

Until now, there has literally been nothing available on the web to help you make a flat fan. There were numerous online articles about moccasin and shawl construction for prior Craft Focus pages, but a "dry hole" on this one! Rather than ditching the topic since there was nothing online to refer to, we decided to create the online resource needed ourselves! By following the link below, you will not only go to our latest Craft Focus page, but to a complete 11-page Whispering Wind article written by Rex Reddick showing complete instructions for fan construction, plus a photo gallery showing examples of fans. This gallery will be added to in the future. If you have any images you would like to contribute, please send them in.
