additionally, i am going to be opening commissions for drums and rattles, i will make a nice post about it soon but prices would be similar to the ones i painted already. they were really well received and i find making them very fulfilling. until i have space to learn to make frames myself the sizes are limited to what i can get from my supplier: 10”, 12”, 14”, 16”, 18” with various kinds of hide

website is back up! i actually ended up selling all my new stuff over the weekend so no restock this week. i took monday and tuesday to recuperate and work on some of my class stuff. i have some things cooking tho and im excited for when i can share them! im focusing this week on some behind the scenes stuff but im getting back to work on beading this week. hoping to restock at the end of next week, probably the 27th or 28th.

#lots of applying to markets and planning going on rn

any other shops/artists you recommend? 🖤

@kiwewinbeads @pookiethebloodsucker both do great beadwork but their styles are both pretty different from mine which i love! as beaders we all have our own styles and i tend to follow and buy from beaders whose styles are different than mine. i buy most of my beadwork in person at powwows tho so this is not the most comprehensive

UW powwow is this weekend! this powwow is free and open to the public, if you havent been to a powwow before its a great option for a first time as it is on the smaller side and easily accessible via public transit, the stadium is right next to a link station

turning this old project into a belt buckle bc i started it two years ago and i want to actually do something with it finally. vintage olympia brewery patch + twocut beads + all red banding. need to pick between some reclaimed leather or hide for it, im thinking leather so it does get stained as easily since it will be more vulnerable as a belt buckle

#beadwork #also a peak at my messy ass desk but the week before powwow is just like that

[mathosapabeads]

just put up a small restock, i am saving most of what i’ve worked on for powwow and whatever is left after powwow will be posted next week!

do you happen to take commissions for custom jewelry?

no i only do custom work for regalia, big events, or family members. commissions stress me out and they make me feel less like i get to actually be creative and more like i am a machine. so whenever i have done custom work i charge twice as much as what my retail prices are. if you are really interested in my work in particular you can expect prices starting at $100 for earrings and bolos, $300 for medallions, etc. but i would recommend looking for native beaders on instagram or on here who do because there are a lot of others who do

new restock is posted, this is a smaller collection since i am getting ready for UW powwow.

rattles are painted now, i still need to do an outline on the turtle rattle. from l-r: sungska (horse), sungska, tusweca (dragonfly), keya (turtle). the blue tape is just to say what each is filled with, i used blue corn, pink beans, pumpkin seeds and pistachios.

heres a video of how they sound
