Wanna purchase some beadwork? Live in Canada but have conflicting feelings about it's history and want to support the Indigenous people that live here? Do you just feel fed up with Canada Day nonsense?
Here are some beadwork artists in MY neighborhood that you should check out!
C'eldzïn Beadwork! I've bought her work before (the bisexual earrings) and she was kind enough to change said earrings to clip-ons for me! Her work is gorgeous and I highly recommend it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Small Town Earrings!! They have very cute beadwork pieces, including some Pokemon and LOZ themed ones!!! I highly recommend their work as well!
Tumblr media
Strong Blood Creations!! They're a trio of Indigenous women that create and distribute beadwork; I bought a hair clip from them recently that was absolutely gorgeous!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Carmen Redunante! She's a Nisga'a/Chilean artist who sells absolutely gorgeous beadwork as well as other jewelry, prints, and and tapestry!!

More artists may be added later!!
This post was brought to you by: an almost exact same thread I did on twitter that I posted right as the entire site imploded so I decided to share the artists here so that they'd actually get traction! Twitter sucks

finally sharing my piece from the evening star zine! find out more about it's meaning and see other beautiful art in the @ntvzine!
i'm doing so to ask all of you to consider taking a moment to submit a comment to the army corps of engineers asking them to prevent the dakota access pipeline from crossing underneath lake oahe!!! comments end december 13th, and using the pre-fabbed letter that the standing rock tribe provides takes mere seconds of your time!! if you're feeling more charitable with your time, writing a unique comment helps immensely!
if you're seeing this after dec 13th - consider checking out the zine this comes from - all proceeds go to AISES, which is an organization that helps native americans in STEM (which includes conservation work!)
that's all! thank you <3

ts'msyenu a ts'm g̱a̱w'iłeeyu - tsimshian in my veins.
series of illustrations completed over last month 🐟
the illustration with the raven i first did a couple years ago; i completely re-drew it, and expanded on the concept by creating the other two works. i was guided by a hope to combine the ideas of Indigenous kinship with other-than-humans, and a critique of blood quantum.
prints: wolf, raven, salmon | wolf illustration timelapse (patreon)

We Are The Ocean
Ursala Hudson (Tlingit/Filipino/German)
collar: merino wool, silk, steel cones, leather. ravenstail patterns, crochet, basketry twining technique. Woman as a Wave shawl: merino wool, silk, cedar bark. chilkat and ravenstail patterns, crochet, basketry twining technique. Tidal apron: merino wool, silk, leather, steel cones. chilkat and ravenstail patterns.
“We Are the Ocean is an ensemble comprised of a collar, apron (entitled Tidal), and shawl (entitled Woman as a Wave). The collar and bottom edge of the shawl are twined using a basketry technique to bring delicacy to the regalia, made specifically to emphasize the wearer’s feminine essence. In place of the sea otter fur that traditionally lines the top of Chilkat and Ravenstail weavings, the merino weft yarns were used to crochet the collar and shawl’s neck lines, bringing forward and incorporating a European craft practiced by both my maternal (Tlingit/Filipino) and paternal (German) grandmothers. The high neck of the collar gives tribute to the Western aesthetics that have forever influenced the Indigenous cultures of our lands; with grace, we embrace that which cannot be undone, and use our new form to be better. The apron’s pattern was studied and graphed from an old Tlingit cedar bark basket, and represents the tides of our lives, as our lessons continue to arise in a revolving cycle, yet made of new debris. The repetitive pattern of the shawl represents the infinite connectedness of our sisters, mothers, aunties, and daughters. Blue lines break up inverted rows, representing the “past,” “present,” and “future,” acknowledging these concepts as irrelevant constructs that fall away when we commune with the Divine. The entire ensemble is worn to evoke the innate spirit of the Woman as an ethereal deity, that resides within us all.”

I'm a little behind in posting this, but in June I finished up a second mural at John MacLure Community School.
I decided to illustrate he salmon life cycle in almost a story book or colouring page theme. The mural is located in a large "nook" in the hallway at the main entrance featuring two spawning sockeye. Trailing behind behind the mural is additional flowing imagery of salmon eggs, fry, and alevin. It was a challenge taking a full photo of the space due to limitations of the hallway space and lighting. You can also see the Thunderbird mural I created last year out the window.

Hi I drew some Native beaded earrings so people can edit them onto memes (or other stuff!), so there’s no potential beadwork art theft from google images and stuff, AND they’re transparent, so feel free to use :3

A Lakota (Sioux) fully beaded woman's dress
Sinew sewn, the yoke and skirt each fully beaded on both sides in greasy yellow, white-heart red, green, light and dark blue beads, with fringe along the skirt and about the ends of the sleeves. laid flat: length 49in, width 64in
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This rare fully beaded dress is very likely the same one once worn by Jenny Yellow Elk Woman, a Sicangu Lakota (Brulé Sioux), and her daughter Julie Nelson, the so-called "Sioux Princess" whose father was John Young Nelson, a scout, interpreter, guide; the family performing in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and pictured in cabinet card photographs of the period. In The Plains Indians: Artists of Earth and Sky, Gaylord Torrence discusses another fully-beaded Dakota, Yanktonai or Lakota dress of a similar style: "This rare, fully-beaded dress… is an exceptional example of the elaborate beadwork created during the period, when whole garments and various objects were sometimes solidly beaded"

TALA/SPIDERSONA POWER CONCEPTS!!!
Wanted to include more of her/my culture into her design. I’m not Lakota of course but just more indigenous inspired in general.
These of course are just concepts of what I got inspired by, so if anyone has suggestions of what I can add/change PLEASE let me know!! I love respectful feedback!
And I love my daughter so much, look how cool she is. Sony put her in BTSV please thank you/hj
This has a lot of foreshadowing :)

FORMLINE SCORPION 🦂🌃
Tumblr media
This piece was done as a contest entry for a local contest that unfortunately did not win. Because of that, I feel comfortable sharing it here. This was a pretty experimental piece and I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.
This piece in question was based off the Northern Scorpion (Paruroctonus boreus), which is the only species of scorpion that lives in Canada and also known to glow a bright blue under UV light. (pictured below)
Tumblr media
I'm kinda sad I didn't win, but I'm still proud of how the piece turned out. (Also this piece got finished around the end of October last year, so it's been on the backburner in terms of posting for a while lmao)
