Native American Arts and Crafts. I am a beadweaver, silver smith, and teach beading in Omaha. I also sew, knit, and paint. I make traditional Native American jewelry with a contemporary twist.
Hi Joni - RAW with extra square stitch ^ I filled in open spaces with copper firepolish beads -- had to figure out a way to connect Twin Cuff Diamonds and thought of using diamonds (from diamond chain) -- thank you for your kind comments about this piece -- hugs, Michel
Hi Joni - Steve is 4 weeks out from having his hip replacement surgery. He's doing remarkably well. His ortho doc was impressed with his recovery thus far. As always, nice to hear from you - have a great day! And, thank you for all the nice comments you've written about some of my recent beadwork. hugs, Michel
Hi Joni, there is now a picture of it posted in the bracelet section of my gallery - still working on the peyote version of it -- hugs, Michel
Nice job. I enjoyed looking at all of the bracelets in your gallery. I have that turtle pattern some where in my collection but have never done it. Fun to see it made up. Joni
thanks Joni for your nice comment about my wip - I got sidetracked with another IG piece that I finished today & will post pics of it soon -- hugs, Michel
