Soccerball flower mitts

These mitts are polished deer with a flower beaded on the cuff. The flower design is what a soccerball would look like if it was unstitched and laid flat. For my sister!

Not so traditional!

Re-vamped old, black leather jacket. Makes really cute slippers! White, glass seed bead skull and crossbones on the upper! Very popular!

For my cousin

The slippers were made for my cousin's two daughters. The blue beadwork was done on her husband's leather shirt. They do something called "rendezvous" camping, with all traditional materials. These are pretty traditional!

Coyote-very furry!


These mocassins are an original bead design. The foot is polished deer and the fur is coyote-which I have never worked with before. It is VERY FUZZY!!
These are slippers I made to exchange with a gentleman I got a bunch of hides and fur from. I paid some cash, with the promise of mocassins as barter for the rest of the cost. This particular pair are for his Aunt. Hope she likes them.

Bloodroot flower mocassins


A woman contacted me from an ad on Kijiji, I was testing the waters..... She came over and we discussed a pair of slippers. She decided to go with a bloodroot flower....which is tricky, as it is white and I usually do my beading on white stroud. So.....I surrounded the flower with the bloodroot leaf-which is kinda cool on it's own! The result...not bad! It took a looooong time though, with the size of the leaf, the upper is almost full bead!
I hope Dana likes them!

Playschool Slippers

Ezra's preschool is having a Silent Auction Fundraiser. Each 'family' is to donate two items that will fetch at least $25.
I made these! The bear is the logo for the Playschool. The fur is rabbit, the hide is deer-cute eh!?!
