My Art Projects Inspired by Native American artists

Moccasins made with coaching from a
Tlingit artist Shelly Laws ↑ →

 

 I did this beadwork but did not make the moccasins.
I went with the wheel of 4 colors common to
Plains Tribes after visiting the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
Reservations and meeting some Lakota Sioux artists.
I put a turtle in the middle to represent my background.

I made this Stanford medallion for the love of my life,
a Miwok and Choctaw man because he love Stanford
so much. Medallion necklace beading pattern were
inspired by female artists at Stanford Powwow.

First time wearing my first medallion.
