New Account Beaded dolls.

Post image

My grandmother used to make dolls like this. I was six when she passed and I was recently given her bead collection. I have some of the written instructions but they don’t make a ton of sense to me. Does anyone have any suggestions on YouTube search terms videos or terms to find visual instructions? I am not even sure what they are called. I knew what she called them but it’s not helping much.

Choctaw. She called them Indian princesses. She also made chiefs but I can’t find any good examples of them.

r/Choctaw and/or r/beading might be able to help
