I make Shawls and Dream Catchers. Have my own unique styles.
Shoshone
Herbal medicine crafter
Sewing, quilting (hand & machine), beading, embroidery, knit & crochet.
I bead on cloth or leather (can’t do commercial except German tan). I make bags, medallions, barrettes, cradleboard, necklaces, etc. Do lots of miniature stuff, like cedar hats, mocs, and button blankets. Also basketry, both flat and round, mostly wool, some cedar. I do lots of things with different kinds of Pendleton wool. I just learned how to make little Indian dolls, so theres something to wear all the miniature things I make.
I can’t sew regalia to save my life, always comes out horrible. My friends have giving up trying to teach me. So I’m always looking for someone who makes regalia who wants to trade, like moccasins, dress, leggings, etc.
