Tom bought this necklace for me when we first visited the Smithsonian's Native American museum. It was a bit tight, so I've restrung it, adding the silver beads.

Indigenous Beading: We're beading the turtle from the creation story known as Skywoman. This creation story is shared by many Indigenous people in North America, including Potawatomi, Mohawk, Haudenosaunee, Oneida. The land we're on in Bloomington is part of the Potawatomi's ancestral homelands. The beading technique we're using for the turtle shell is called "return stitch." It is a relatively new form of appliqué beading and a simplification of two-needle appliqué as it only requires one needle.
Penny requested a Dutch Spiral necklace and told me her favorite color was green. I shopped around, and when I found a mostly green bead mix with a ladybug bead in it and I knew I had to have it!
© All rights reserved. I and you thought these were for flossing! © All rights reserved. Brooks Farm Yarn Duet Kid Mohair Purple Haze. Fine Wool 55%/45% 500 yds E D 20.
Soft, lofty combination of fine wool and kid mohair, not the usual blend but a mechanical blend, one strand of kid mohair that is plied with a single strand of fine wool. The yarn has a slightly textured appearance with the luster of the mohair and is the perfect compliment to the softness and loft of the wool. Great for knitting or weaving. 8 oz skein
Went through a beadloom phase before I picked up knitting again. This project lay dormant on the loom until the bf helped me finish it up sometime early last year.
