About the ISA and Membership


Dolores Elliott is currently working on a series of booklets on Iroquois beadwork to replace the out-of-print Flights of Fancy, which is five years old. A lot has happened since its publication. The first of the series, on the historical development of Iroquois beadwork should be available within a month. Subsequent booklets, each describing a particular style or form, will follow.

The Links page has been updated. Recent additions are highlighted with a a yellow background to make them more noticable.
