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.

In order to get the beads and larger gems I had to take apart another top. All the beading is done by hand and I particularly like the the flower and the three lower crystals as I feel that they really draw the eye and make a statement in the true spirit of the Rio Carnival.
