The house

Recent work, by room. Photographs will change as new pieces leave the table.

Tan hide tote with two beaded roses, a bee, black leather base and strap

Bags

Hide, two flowers and a bee

The prettiest bag on the table. Then, further down the room, the one it started with — green felt, an eagle, yellow straps.

Bags
Beaded hide vest with floral work and fur, hanging in the studio

The vest

The backbone of the table

Vests, dog vests, blankets: a high standing in community. Moosehide, beadwork, made to wear hard. Ready pieces when they exist; to measure when they do not.

Blue denim jacket with crystal floral embroidery on a dress form

Day

Denim, Dene florals

Crystal on the shoulders. A jacket for town. The embroidery machine still in the frame.
