Title	Cover, Checkbook
Creator	Derendoff, Mary Jane
Collection Name	Ethnology
Identifier	UA2007-013-0004(2)
Description	Heavily beaded checkbook cover backed with caribou hide. Cover is a rectangular shape with one curved short end. Folded in thirds, the cover velcros to the front and encases a checkbook, which can be slipped inside the pocket sewn to the backing (no checkbook enclosed). Beads are sewn to a felt base, which is edged with pink and red beads in the "zipper edging" pattern. The cover has a central large 5-pointed-petaled flower in orange and blue that has a number of vines and leaves extending off to 5 smaller 5-rounded-petaled flowers. There are two large 5-clover-shaped-petaled flowers on the flap, then four other 5-petaled flowers filling gaps (one on top flap, three on the bottom flap). A triangular shape forms the edge pattern with red beads topping the triangle. The entire piece is edged with a line of black beads. Inner sections of flowers beaded with smaller beads that are cut along one side making it flat ("Charlotte cuts") to create a 3-D effect. Background is a solid white seed bead field. Sewn with cotton thread. 20.7 X 18.8cm . Purchase of this artwork has been made possible through the generous support of the Rasmuson Foundation Art Acquisition Fund.
