- Caption
- A beadwork American flag is mounted on cloth and attached to red paper in this piece. Below the iconic stars and stripes, artist and veteran Ira Blount includes his layout for the artwork, noting the color and number of beads required for each row. By presenting his finished beadwork with the schematic for its creation, Blount creates an instructional tool that allows viewers to compare his careful plan to the final patriotic product.
