Announcement
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE ANNOUNCEMENT, IMPORTANT INFORMATION INCLUDED!
First let me say, when you buy from me you are receiving a genuine Johnny Blackbird American made, hand woven, beaded hat band and NOT A KNOCK OFF. They are becoming more and more common. I should be flattered but I am disturbed by how many people are losing their medicine along with their honor. My designs came to me as a revelation and story of our spirits continuing journey. Now back to business! My beaded hat bands are all handmade, loom woven and designed by me. When wearing a Johnny Blackbird hat band you share in the medicine and the story of spirits journey from the stars and back to the stars. All things complete the great circle that our star mother set in motion. My hat bands include a story card and a small feather bundle but more importantly they are woven in an atmosphere of peace and happy medicine. Since they are all made to order be sure and include the exact circumference measurement of your hats crown in inches. Measuring is easy. Remove the current band and with a cloth tape or a string measure the crown (where the crown meets the brim) and that`s the crown size. Provide me with that measurement in the notes section. I will make your hat band within a 1/2 to 1/4 inch of that size for a nicely finished and well fitted look. Spider Mothers, Turtles and Medicine birds can not be made smaller than 23 inches in length. The cost of a hat band is $135.00 and they take 6 days to complete once started. Still have a question? Contact me johnny [!at] dancingblackbird.com or text to 1-520-548-6588.

5 out of 5 starsJohnny was excellent to work with. He helped me better understand the symbolic differences in two hatbands I had interest in, and pick out the best one for me. With the band attached to my Stetson open road, Johnny's incredible talent and beautiful beadwork shine. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI am delighted with my medicine feather piece. Johnny's work is high quality and the colors of the feathers are extraordinary. I am using this for smudging - the turkey is my spirit guide. Thank you for the authentic work you do to carry on ancient traditions.

5 out of 5 starsThis is by far the best made, most artistic, most perfect hat band I have ever seen. Dealing with Johnny was easy, and he shipped the hat band exactly when he said he would, and this was a custom item. I give him my very highest recommendation. Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love my Feathers! Johnny has created beautiful Medicine feather bundles that are bound in colors which represent Virtues. These feathers have such strong energy that I decided to build a Feather Arrow. These Feather bundles represent the 7 stages of my life. I loved being able to go through the Feather Bundles and let them choose me. They are exquisite! Well packaged and speedy shipping made for a great shopping experience!

About dancingBlackbird
Little old man walking on his chosen path
I learned how to bead hat bands and bracelets when I was young. Then I was guided by my ancestors to make the story bands part of my journey through the illusion which has continued for 70 years now. The story is simple but strong, it is basically the spirits travel from the stars and back to the stars. My medicine flows around my bands in the circle created on the hat. My shop is cleansed with the smoke of sage and pine every morning so my hat bands carry only a sense of peace and happiness with them. My encouragement comes from within and I hope I can make everyone I come in contact with smile. Johnny Blackbird American made, Prairie Band and veteran
